Case Sensitivity of Identifiers
Case sensitivity for regular and delimited identifiers is defined by configuration parameters. At the time a database is created, the current setting of those parameters is stored with the database.
By default, regular and delimited identifiers are translated to and stored as lowercase.
The DBMS Server treats database, user, group, role, cursor, and location names without regard to case. Mixed-case database or location names cannot be created.
To determine the settings for the database to which a session is connected
Use the DBMSINFO function, as follows:
SELECT DBMSINFO('DB_NAME_CASE')
and
SELECT DBMSINFO('DB_DELIMITED_CASE')
