Research direction
The issue requests adding a configuration option `lower case table names` to TiDB. First, investigate if there are any existing discussions or PRs related to this feature. Look at the TiDB configuration system in files like `config/config.go` or `sessionctx/variable/session.go`. Determine the expected behavior (0,1,2) and where to add the option. Check if any comments in the issue suggest a preferred approach. The task involves modifying server configuration parsing and ensuring compatibility with MySQL's behavior.
