[Haskelldb-users] uppercase Tablenames

[<co...@da...>]

Hi

I tried the tutorial on the haskell wiki [1] and used dbInfoToModuleFiles
to create the DB Layout. As described I named the Table 'MyTable' but in
the created file DBInfo.hs, the table was named 'myTable' (caused by a
call to 'checkLower' in DBSpecToDBDirect.hs). Obviously this did not work
with the Table that I created beforehand (with dbSpecToDatabase with the
original dbInfo as parameter).

Is this behaviour on purpose? This would mean one could only use Table 
names that begin with lower case letters.

As checkLower is also applied to Field names in DBSpecToDBDirect.hs I 
assume the same behaviour happens with Fields.

Hmm, I can't see any reason why the first letter of the table and field
names have to be lower case. Of course the Haskell identifiers for the
tables and fields have to, but not the strings with the actual field
names.

I have removed these calls to checkLower in CVS for now, can anyone shed
any light on why they were there in the first place? Chucky: maybe you
remember?

Hmm, I am *guessing* I wanted to be consistent, so that the Haskell
identifiers would always have the same name as the actual tables and
fields. OTOH, it might just be a bug. :)
