When looking at the fully qualified name of an sde geodatabase table in ArcMap or ArcCatalog, it is always displayed as DatabaseName.SCHEMA.TableName.  At least it is with my setup:  SQL Server 2014 and ArcGIS 10.4.1.  Is there any way to make it so SCHEMA is not always displayed in all-caps?  This is basically a non-issue, it's just annoying to look at, so it would be nifty if there was a way to change it.  Thanks.

Hi Ryan,

I noticed that you had not gotten a response to this question so I wanted to go ahead and answer this here in case you were still wondering.

You are correct, for a SQL Server enterprise geodatabase we display the feature in a "databasename.SCHEMANAME.featurename" format. We do not offer a way to change the schema name to a lower case format. One thing you'll notice is that views created in the database have a lower case schema name but feature classes, feature datasets, etc. are all uppercase. This is by design.

Hope that helps. Let me know if I can answer anything else for you.
