I found 'official' documentation here regarding Mac OS X: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html I had also found some reference to this having been a side effect of migrating files from older macs (of which I am not familiar) filesystems. I don't find any reference in the mysqldump documentation at https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysqldump.html to any mechanism for overriding this. The incompatibility kicks in when trying to restore the databases on linux - and I presume FreeBSD, sun OS and other posix systems would show the same problem.

What level of detail you want to copy from your old instance into your new instance is completely up to you. I've run into other problems, such as a 1)running mysqldump exactly as I would have in linux and not getting all databases. Dunno why, but keep on reading. 2)mysqldump forces all database names to lower case in the CREATE DATABASE statement. I know, one shouldn't use upper case in database names, but :) tell that to my clients. It turns out '2)' is a known problem in Mac, but I just didn't know it... My workaround was to write a python app that uses the MySQLdb module to get the name of all databases, iterate through the list and selectively operate on them, and ensure that proper case is used in the CREATE DATABASE command.. So I'm good here, I think.
