Description
Inserting Docker records into the CMDB with varying case but the same text succeeds, but upon re-insertion, the data is dropped. The CMDB Identification engine does not properly reconcile the string case when data is reinserted into the database.

Steps to Reproduce
- Log into the Docker machine.
- Execute docker images.
- Select any repository and tag and copy the Image ID.
Ensure that the tag is not <None>. - Copy the tag name.
- If the tag name is latest, the new tag name should be Latest.
- Execute docker tag <Image ID> Repository:<newTagName>.
- Create more than one duplicate tag.
- Execute docker images.
You should see the new tag and the old tag in the table. - Run Discovery on the Docker machine again.
Note that only one tag appears in the CMDB. After Discovery is complete and you navigate to Docker > Image tag for the image ID, both tags in different cases should appear in the CMDB.
