Schematool mysql metadata case-sensitive

Question

Not really a question, more an observation unless anyone thinks I am doing
something out of the ordinary.
Using mysql, connectorJ on windows I tried running "schematool -a build -f
script.sql" and kept getting a bunch of errors like
47781 WARN [main] kodo.jdbc.Schema - Existing column "VOYAGE_NUMBER" on
table "vessel" is incompatible with the same column in the given schema
definition.
Existing column:
Full Name: vessel.VOYAGE_NUMBER
Type: VARCHAR
Size: 10
Default: null
Not Null: false
Given column:
Full Name: VESSEL.VOYAGE_NUMBER
Type: VARCHAR
Size: 255
Default: null
Not Null: false
So there was a case sensitivity issue with the metadata in mysql. I had
to add the following to the connectionUrl in kodo.properties
capitalizeTypeNames=true
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector/j/en/cj-configuration-properties.html
All tables are lowercase for Windows
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/name-case-sensitivity.html
Doesn't matter on queries and the like but the schematool seemed to need
the extra connection property.

Kevin-
What version of the MySQL server and driver are you using? In our
experience, MySQL always capitalized schema names, but it is possible
that this has changed in some version.
Note that another solution would be to set the DBDictionary's
"schemaCase" property to "lower" or "preserve" (instead of the
MySQLDictionary default of "upper"), with the property:
kodo.jdbc.DBDictionary: mysql(SchemaCase=preserve)
We'd be interested to know if that solution works for you.
