Hello,
I ran into similiar problems when migrating tables from MSSQL to Postgres. Typically I create table names such as "TableName" and column names such as "TableID" in MSSQL. If there exists a table called "TableName" and a column called "TableID" why won't the following query work in postgres:
SELECT TableID FROM TableName
I guess that my question is: why does Postgres muck around with the case? Double quoting all tables and columns in a database that contains dozens of tables is far too much work, and I don't understand why I need to drop all my labels to lowercase in the DB. Is there no way to override this behavior?
Cheers... Dino

Hi,
Either change your query to:
SELECT * FROM "Invoices"
or, on the first step in the Migration Wizard, use the options to shift names to lower case, and re-migrate your data.
Of course, if you only have a few tables/columns you could just rename them in pgAdmin.

- Hi,
-
- I migrated a few tables to postgresql. Everything migrated fine, but tablenames that contain capitals are converted just as is. When I create a query, postgresql doesn't seem to use those captitals and converts them to lowercase. This makes that the table is not found in the database and I get an error. I the database is a table 'Invoices', so the respons to the query 'select * from Invoices' is 'Relation invoices doesn't exist' .

- Can someone help me with this?
