4) The status quo is that some things are case sensitive.
Fortunately only *SOME* operating systems and *SOME* programming languages are case sensitive. I have been in software development for over 30 years, and nothing which I encountered prior to Unix/Linux was case sensitive. If you think that case sensitivity is a good thing just image what chaos would be caused if email addresses and URLs were case sensitive.

7) I do not understand, that it is possible to define a foreign key without any constraints?
To me a relationship between two tables allows me to JOIN them in an sql SELECT statement. Thus I can use a column as a foreign key without having to define it as a foreign key.
