PI24334: CUSTOMERS MIGRATING DATABASES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPEDED RE PRODUCTIVITY WHEN THE CASE OF METADATA IS DIFFERENT

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Customers may switch database vendors where the case of metadata
  is not the same. Their existing applications may work because
  they do not use delimited identifiers in their SQL statements. A
  customer will be unable to update an existing model due to the
  inability to en-masses request an upper/lower case action on
  external names etc. If they try to update their model they will
  receive dialogs about deleting objects etc which confuses them.
  

Local fix

• Customers have to apply edits manually or write custom scripts t
  o change the model so they can then go back and update the model
   via metadata import, etc.
