##Overwriting The Default PDO Options
The PDO connector class (**laravel/database/connectors/connector.php**) has a set of default PDO attributes defined which can be overwritten in the options array for each system. For example, one of the default attributes is to force column names to lowercase (**PDO::CASE_LOWER**) even if they are defined in UPPERCASE or CamelCase in the table. Therefore, under the default attributes, query result object variables would only be accessible in lowercase.
An example of the MySQL system settings with added default PDO attributes:
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'database' => 'database',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
PDO::ATTR_CASE => PDO::CASE_LOWER,
PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
PDO::ATTR_ORACLE_NULLS => PDO::NULL_NATURAL,
PDO::ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES => false,
PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false,
),
More about the PDO connection attributes can be found [in the PHP manual](http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.setattribute.php).
