39-
Database names are case-sensitive in MongoDB. They also have an
40-
additional restriction, case cannot be the only difference between
41-
database names.
39+
Do not rely on case to distinguish between databases. For example,
40+
you cannot use two databases with names like, ``salesData`` and
41+
``SalesData``.

43+
After you create a database in MongoDB, you must use consistent
44+
capitalization when you refer to it. For example, if you create the
45+
``salesData`` database, do not refer to it using alternate
46+
capitalization such as ``salesdata`` or ``SalesData``.
