Letter case problem in autogenerated CRUD code

John Zastrow — Thu, 16 Sep 2004 00:43:49 -0000

I create all of my mysql databases with UPPER case
letters in the table names and field names so that they
are more compatible when they get moved to Oracle.
However, PCG seemed to modify the cases when I
generated the code. Consider the following URL that
generated a 404 error on my linux server (case
sensitive). I also encountered similar problems in the
previous version of codegenie when I would call my key
field ID, but codegenie would form the URLs like
http://site.com?page.php?id=1, when it really needed to
be http://site.com?page.php?ID=1

http://localhost/pcg/web/generatedCode/infosources/info
sources/RESOURCES/insertNewResources.php

Here is the table description
Column Information For - infosources.RESOURCES
-------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------

Field Type Null Key Default
Extra
---------------- ------------ ------ ------ -------
--------------
ID int(11) PRI (NULL)
auto_increment
TTOWNER varchar(255) YES
(NULL)
TITLE varchar(255) YES MUL
(NULL)
YEAR varchar(255) YES
(NULL)
AUTHORS varchar(255) YES MUL
(NULL)
ABSTRACT longtext YES
(NULL)
KEYWORDS varchar(255) YES MUL
(NULL)
PUBLICATION varchar(255) YES MUL

ISSUE varchar(255) YES

VOLUME varchar(255) YES

PAGES varchar(255) YES
(NULL)
URL varchar(255) YES
(NULL)
MEDIA varchar(255) YES
(NULL)
HAS_SUBSCRIPTION varchar(255) YES (NULL)

and here is the files that it generated. Can you see the
case problems?
