UpperCasing in Lakehouse tablenames
Hi,
I'm currently importing a file to a lakehouse, here the naming convention keeps the Uppercasing of the letters (I'm using Camelcasing). But, once im making transofmrations in my pypsark notebook (more exactly saveAsTable) then the uppercasing is removed, and I'm only seeing lowercasing of the previous name. For example, FactTable becomes facttable, etc.
This is in Fabric that im talking about. I wonder is this here to stay or can I circumvent this somehow?

Hi Anonymous ,
Thanks for using Fabric Community.Yes, this is a limitation of the HIVE metastore. It stores the schema of a table in all lowercase.
A table name can contain only lowercase alphanumeric characters and underscores and must start with a lowercase letter or underscore.
Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
