Due to some issues with column names being returned uppercase from Oracle and the Wordpress code using lowercase names to reference the columns in the objects returned. It was initial though that lowercasing the retuned column names would be a good idea.
In theory this was a good idea. However in three cases Wordpress used mixed case column names (ID, cat_ID and comment_ID). Initially all the instances of these column names were lowercased to be consistent with the rest of the code.
This caused an issue with using plug-ins that were also referencing these mixed case column names. The fix was to add the columns (id, cat_id, and comment_id) as both the lowercase names and the mixed case names to the returned objects.
This fix will allow the use of more Wordpress plug-ins without the need to change any plug-in code.
Any reports on plug-ins that work seamlessly are very welcome!
