Hello Dirk,
if you are using double quotes around the column name the name won't be
translated in lowercase; maybe the column name wasn't created this way and
that's why you caon't find it. Try to
alter table pricegroup add foreign key (parent) references pricegroup on
delete cascade
without using double quotes.

Just my 0.02

Ciao,
