    Description

      When using lower_case_table_names=2 and a mixed-case schema name, WHERE clauses on information_schema.routines.routine_schema no longer perform case-insensitive matching properly.

      This previously worked, e.g. here's the behavior in MariaDB 11.7.2 and all pre-May releases of MariaDB (and all versions of MySQL):

      MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE FooBar;
      Query OK, 1 row affected (0.029 sec)
       
      MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE PROCEDURE FooBar.testing() SELECT 1;
      Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.046 sec)
       
      MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT routine_schema, routine_type, routine_name FROM information_schema.routines WHERE routine_schema = 'FooBar';
      +----------------+--------------+--------------+
      | routine_schema | routine_type | routine_name |
      +----------------+--------------+--------------+
      | foobar         | PROCEDURE    | testing      |
      +----------------+--------------+--------------+
      1 row in set (0.002 sec)
      

      In comparison, here's MariaDB 11.8, note that the same query returns no rows:

      MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE FooBar;
      Query OK, 1 row affected (0.021 sec)
       
      MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE PROCEDURE FooBar.testing() SELECT 1;
      Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.045 sec)
       
      MariaDB [(none)]> SELECT routine_schema, routine_type, routine_name FROM information_schema.routines WHERE routine_schema = 'FooBar';
      Empty set (0.002 sec)
      

      As a workaround, applying a case-insensitive COLLATE clause fixes the query, but I don't think that should normally be necessary here.

      As far as I can see, this only seems to affect routines. The behavior of tables, views, triggers, and events are unchanged, in terms of information_schema WHERE clauses on a mixed-case schema name.

      This might also affect `mysqldump` and other tools, but I haven't tested.

      I'm 99% sure this is some unexpected side-effect of MDEV-14432, as the impacted versions seem to line up with May 2025 releases, and I don't see any other recent lower_case_table_name=2 changes. But after staring at sql_show.cc and https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/ddd5ba3 the exact cause isn't clear to me.
