• Set the attribute lower_case_table_names to 1 in the MySQL settings (my.cnf).

Oracle

If you use an Oracle database, either copy or create a link to the JDBC drivers in the /var/opt/nevisdetect/persistency/libs and /var/opt/nevisadapt/libs directories.

PostgreSQL

If you use PostgreSQL with Flyway, the Flyway schema history table name has to be in lower case.
