9116	different caps in application name producing error	Maxim Syabro <syabro@…>	nobody	"I have an application with name `localModels` and `lower_case_table_names` mysql variable=1, which said to MySQL automatically convert table name to lowercase.
Let's look in `djnago.core.management.commnads.syncdb.py`, line 67:
{{{
#!python
if connection.introspection.table_name_converter(model._meta.db_table) in tables:
    continue
}}}
`connection.introspection.table_name_converter(model._meta.db_table) = 'localModels_tablename'`
in tables we have
`(..., 'localmodels_tablename', ...)`
so here your condition doesn't work, beacuse `'localModels_tablename'!='localmodels_tablename'`.
And we have an exception in `manage.py syncdb`:
{{{
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1050, ""Table 'localmodels_tablename' already exists"")
}}}

So I see at least 2 ways:

 1. Generate SQL {{{'CREATE TABLE `tablename` IF NOT EXIST'}}}
 2. Check MySQL's `lower_case_table_names` variable and change condition on line 67.
