You should add that to the database specific notes section in the documentation before we all forget about this :)

I didn't know it was an option to have a SQL Server instance be case-sensitive.

Anyway, you can just specify this behavior by setting the following property:

   openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary: schemaCase=preserve

Let us know if the problem still occurs after you try this setting.

Hi folks,

After some invesitigation, I found OpenJPA converted the lower case database
name to upper case in
org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.sql.DBDictionary.convertSchemaCase (String). (See below code) In this function we always convert objectName to upper case unless schemaCase is set to "lower" or "preserve". schemaCase is initilized with the value "upper", and changed in EmpressDictionary, MySQLDictionary, PostgresDictionary, and SybaseDictionary. The problem is we keep the value
in SQLServerDictionary.

   protected String convertSchemaCase(String objectName) {
       if (objectName == null)
           return null;

       if (SCHEMA_CASE_LOWER.equals(schemaCase))
           return objectName.toLowerCase();
       if (SCHEMA_CASE_PRESERVE.equals(schemaCase))
           return objectName;
       return objectName.toUpperCase();
   }

One possible solution of my problem is developing a new SQLServerDictionary in which schemaCase is set to "preserve". It should work. However, I still
have a couple of questions to the list:

1. Do we need set schemaCase to "preserve" in SQLServerDictionary as we did
in SybaseDictionary?
2. Are there any other solutions? e.g. set the value in some configuration
file, etc.

Thanks,
William
