title: Use Mysql lower_case_table_names to 1
body: <p>I have installed mysql v5.5.17 in linux using yum, now i want default lowercase table names so i have added </p>
  
  <pre><code>set-variable = lower_case_table_names=1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in 
  <code>/etc/my.cnf</code></p>
  
  <p>but if i do that then i could not start mysqld service. Mysql logs says unknown variable <code>lower_case_table_names</code>.
  I have also tried with <code>set global lower_case_table_names=1;</code> in command line but is says its read only variable.</p>
  
  <p>any suggestion? </p>
