I also believed it, but I read in a magazine few days ago there was an error of security in MySQL, by means of which a remote user could create an equal data base to another existing one as long as he used a different capitalization, and this problem did not exist now in Windows because his file system is case-insensitive.
This means that if db exists one called "anything" a malicious user could create a call "AnyThing".
I have been several years working with MySQL in Windows and it had never had problems of this type, but with the same DB in Linux, if I have a called table 'actividades' and do one "SELECT * FROM ACTIVIVADES" says to me that the table does not exist. This did not happen in Windows, I think.
