MySQL table names forced to lower-case, and table_exists function case-sensitive ?

this has to do more with the operating system then CI, since Windows isn't a case sensitive OS, MySQL running in Windows won't be case sensitive, while if you run the script in a GNU/Linux server you will notice that the OS is case sensitive and the table names will appear as you have written them.

Basically you should be very careful since, and app written in Windows might crash in GNU/Linux server just because of case sensitivity.
