Hi Robert, I'm using ALL_TABLES but the .NET provider still changes
the case.

Created as: "my/table"
From Oracle's shell: my/table
From .NET: MY/TABLE

Is there any way to specify that this shouldn't be the correct
behavior?

Thanks.

I find this rather strange: normally any DB access layer has no business
in changing the case of character data returned from the DB - at least
not without explicitly telling it to do so. But you'll probably have
better chances getting an answer to this by using a .NET specific forum.
I would guess that someone else must have stumbled across this already
because this would not only affect table names but other character data
as well.

Kind regards

robert
