Unless you are talking about Java in and Oracle database, in which
case it is case sensitive.
e.g.
select owner, object_name, object_type
from dba_objects
where object_type like 'JAVA%';

Subject: RE: naming conventions for Oracle/Unix vs. SQL Server
Paula:
The mixed case for Oracle does not matter, as Oracle is not case
sensitive. The column names are stored in uppercase within the data
dictionary. However, for SQL Server, the case sensitivity of column names
is crucial.
Another black eye for MSFT.

Guys,
Please help. I work in an organization where we have both SQL Server on
NT and Oracle on Unix. SQL Server and developers who are used to GUI's in
NT like column names to have mixed case with no underscores. The Unix
folk - like myself prefer underscores and one case. Is there any reason
not to adopt mixed case for Oracle? Is this really just what I am used
to? I have been using this standard for so long that it maybe the reasons
I adopted it do not any longer exist or are not as compelling as
developer's today are more comfortable with mixed case.
