Hi,
   I'm not a guru so my answer may be incorrect but I believe that
Oracle implicitly use the uppercase name of your item (table, but also
column, etc) when try to reference it. If you want to give an item a
"particular" name (as oracle 10g does with tables in the recyclebin)
you must enclose it with duble quotes; this indicates that the name
should be taken as you typed it. You can find all the names (in the
form required by Oracle for checking their existence) in the
corresponding data_dictionary view (dba_tables for examples).
Hope this helps,
   Giovanni
