+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+       lowerCase.retail.find()
+
+   This operation does not return any results because the database names are case

+   implicitly create a new database.

 .. limit:: Database Name Case Sensitivity
 
-   Since database names are case *insensitive* in MongoDB, database
-   names cannot differ only by the case of the characters.
+   Database names are case-sensitive in MongoDB. They also have an 
+   additional restriction, case cannot be the only difference between
+   database names.
