Description (last modified by lintong)

if possible, to avoid any problems that might arise from this behavior. Django uses lowercase table names when it auto-generates table names from models, so this is mainly a consideration if you are overriding the table name via the db_table parameter.

--django don't avoid the app label maybe uppercase, it should be
'self.db_table = "%s_%s" % (self.app_label.lower(), self.model_name)'

Thanks for this ticket, however proposed change would be a backward incompatible. Moreover this behavior is in Django from the very beginning and it isn't an issue that app_label is mixed-case, everything should works properly.
