Description
This may be nice to specifically refer to in the initial data paragraph within the 'Creating models' documentation.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Normally you don't need to worry about the capitalisation (if you create table "Foo", you can still refer to it as "foo" in select and insert statements), so this is very rare case. Yes, it's needed sometimes in "alter table" situations, but it's still rare.
Also, this is very database-specific and something that is the documentation for each particular database. We should not be duplicating the documentation for how to write SQL for a particular database.
