Well, your table is in the public schema so obviously the schema qualification
is not required.
I wonder if there are some hidden characters or perhaps whitespace in the
table name. It seems odd that the output of Michael's suggestion is split
across several lines. I am sorry but you will have to wait for someone other
than me to tell you how to figure that out.
How was the table created? Can you show us the commands? That might help.
Kind Regards,
Keith
