Description

On Windows, mySQL is case insensitive by default, but on UNIX, mySQL is case sensitive by default.  How do I configure mySQL for case insensitivity to work with MFT Command Center and Internet Server?

Issue/Introduction

MFT Command Center and Internet Server - Configuring mySQL for case insensitivity

Environment

All supported environments

Resolution

To make mySQL case insensitive, use the "utf8_general_ci" database collation and "utf8" database charset when creating the database.  This should work on mySQL V8.  
This collation will make the MFT SQL calls case insensitive.
