Case sensitivity in Livecode ??

[Bob Sneidar]

Not only that, but revOpenDatabase("sqlite", ":MEMORY:") will not work on Windows, but DOES on Mac. revOpenDatabase("sqlite", ":memory:") works on both platforms. Do you know why?? No you do not. No one knows, and will likely NEVER know. LOL! 

I suppose :memory: is a kind of system constant?!? But why it is case sensitive on Windows but not on Mac is beyond me. I put it into the bin labeled, "Things that make you go hmmm..."
