In Oracle, the table name and column names are always stored in UPPER case only.

Still, both the statements

select * from customers and
select * from Customers will give the same result. But,

select tname from tab where tname like 'customers' will give you no rows selected. But
select tname from tab where tname like 'CUST%' will give you 1 record.
This is the way Oracle is naming the tables and columns.
