Question about column name case sensitive

[Ying Lu]

Hello,

I have a question about column name case sensitive. Currently, we use 
MySQL 3.23.32 running on Linux.

I am trying to use JDBC to get email from table T1

T1(
     id char(3),
     name varchar(12),
     Email    varchar(16)
)

Now If I say,
    try{
    ...

       String email = 
getString("email");                                          //here I 
got Exception saying "Column name cannot be found"
     ...
    }catch(Exception e){

       System.err.println(e);

    }

If I change the exception line to
     getString("Email");

everyting is all right.


In  MySQL documentation, on all OS, there should not have column name 
case sensitive problem, right? But how come I changed the column name to 
the same format as saved in table T1 it works; otherwise, I got exception?

Thanks a lot!
