Anyone - When I create a table in oracle over a
database link in oracle using freetds and connecting
to a sql server database, the table name and columns
names are brought over in lower case.  Therefore, when
I select a column from the newly created table in
oracle I have to put quotes around the column names.

For example,
create table xxempi.xxbi_invoice_fact as select * from
invoice_fact@edev2_to_sqltest01;

In the example, above the create table statement is
run in oracle and selects from a table in sql server
over a database link (the database link uses freetds).

However, the newly create table definition,
specifically the columns, will be forced in lower
case.

CREATE TABLE "xxbi_invoice_fact"
(
  "invoice_pk"            NUMBER(18)    NOT NULL,
  "invoice_id"            VARCHAR2(15 BYTE) NOT NULL,
  "primary_claim_code"  VARCHAR2(15 BYTE) NOT NULL,
...............

Is there a parameter to fix this or a workaround
someone could share?  Thanks.

Dan
