Ok... I think I found a bug... tell me if I'm smoking something on this:

I create a table with a mixed case name... everything works fine until I try
to use the sequence created with the SERIAL datatype.

test_db=# create table "mixed_Case" ("mix_id" SERIAL, "mix_var"
varchar(50));
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE will create implicit sequence 'mixed_Case_mix_id_seq'
for SERIAL column 'mixed_Case.mix_id'
NOTICE:  CREATE TABLE/UNIQUE will create implicit index
'mixed_Case_mix_id_key' for table 'mixed_Case'
CREATE
test_db=# \d "mixed_Case"
                                Table "mixed_Case"
 Attribute |    Type     |                        Modifier
-----------+-------------+--------------------------------------------------
-------
 mix_id    | integer     | not null default
nextval('mixed_Case_mix_id_seq'::text)
 mix_var   | varchar(50) |
Index: mixed_Case_mix_id_key

test_db=# insert into "mixed_Case" (mix_id, mix_var) values
(nextval('mixed_Case_mix_id_seq'), 'not working');
ERROR:  Relation 'mixed_case_mix_id_seq' does not exist
test_db=# insert into "mixed_Case" (mix_id, mix_var) values
(nextval('mixed_Case_mix_id_seq'::text), 'not working');
ERROR:  Relation 'mixed_case_mix_id_seq' does not exist
test_db=# insert into "mixed_Case" (mix_id, mix_var) values
(nextval("mixed_Case_mix_id_seq"::text), 'not working');
ERROR:  Attribute 'mixed_Case_mix_id_seq' not found
test_db=# insert into "mixed_Case" (mix_id, mix_var) values
(nextval("mixed_Case_mix_id_seq"), 'not working');
ERROR:  Attribute 'mixed_Case_mix_id_seq' not found
test_db=#


I know I could just do a: insert into "mixed_Case" (mix_var) values ('not
working')

But this is for phpPgAdmin and so due to certain issues, I need to have the
nextval function work as it would without a mixed case table name.

Is this expected behavior?
