Why camelCase field names become SNAKE_CASE DB tables

FUN FACT

Did you know that camelCased XLSForm field names will become SNAKE_CASED MySQL table attributes?

When you design an XLSForm and your naming convention for the field names is camelCase, on the back-end part, the generated MySQL table attributes will be rendered upper cased snake_case.

Do you have any idea why?

I remember one time while I was snooping through the codes of the ODK Aggregate, I noticed that there were Java classes written specifically for making the field names become SNAKE_CASED.

I can't remember the exact file though but it is somewhere here in the source-code.
