Thanks for your reply.

Do you or anyone know if there is something in the configuration of Oracle 
that can be changed for it to return lower case column?

I read in the book Oracle 9i Complete Reference that oracle can use mixed case 
column and table name, but haven't found the "how to do it" yet.

I'd rather do that than converting all my apps. The problem is we're supposed 
to write for mysql, but then client change their mind and use Oracle.

Sorry if this is a bit OT. Thanks for any help.
