It's due to one of the __SECURITY_FIXES in the database cpp's. I forget which one exactly so you'd have to check.

dbo.CHECK_CHARS has nothing to do with forcing lowercase lettering. I told you where the problem is lol.

i commented out __SECURITY_FIXES from versioncommon.h in database, neuz and world. compiled with no errors but still the name will automatically change into lowercase

Code:

void	CProject::Formalize( LPSTR szName )

This method (_strlwr() to be exact) converts all characters to lowercase except the first one. Remove the call to it in

Code:

void CDbManager::CreatePlayer(CQuery *qry, LPDB_OVERLAPPED_PLUS lpDbOverlappedPlus)

or change the switch/case code inside it.
