Where to change the value of lower_case_table_names=2 on windows xampp
Do these steps:
- open your MySQL configuration file: [drive]\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini
- look up for:
# The MySQL server [mysqld]
- add this right below it:
lower_case_table_names = 2
- save the file and restart MySQL service

On linux I cannot set lower_case_table_names
to 2
(it reverts to 0
), but I can set it to 1
.
Before changing this setting, do a complete dump of all databases, and drop all databases. You won't be able to drop them after setting lower_case_table_names
to 1
, because any uppercase characters in database or table names will prevent them from being referenced.
Then set lower_case_table_names
to 1
, restart MySQL, and re-load your data, which will convert everything to lowercase, including any subsequent queries made.
Try adding/editing lower_case_table_names = 2 in my.ini
or my.cnf
