You can disable or enable Windows kernel case insensitivity by using the following registry key:
Path: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel
Value name: obcaseinsensitive
Value type: DWORD
SQL Server relies on the Windows default value of 1 (one) for this key.
Note
As soon as this key is set to 0 (zero) on a system on which SQL Server is installed, the operation of setting the key back to 1 (one) is not a tested scenario for SQL Server. Additionally, this behavior is not supported. Therefore, we recommend a clean reinstallation of SQL Server on a server on which this key has never been changed.
SQL Server now runs on your choice of operating system. In this learning path, you'll discover the fundamentals of SQL Server on Linux, before discovering how to run SQL Server on Linux containers and deploy SQL Server on Linux. You'll then learn how to automatically tune your SQL Server on Linux deployment.
