The framework I am using is PGSQLKit for Mac OS X for which the source was available and which I downloaded and altered
since.Actually it gives you access down to the pqlib calls.
The connection being closed was one of the issues. I had added convenience classes with class methods to the framework.
Theconnection was kept in the background with its credentials and settings in place, but only opened on a per-request
basisand closed afterwards which I changed now and now it works.
As to mixed case, no, it was all lower case, but using terminal for verification I had taken this into consideration so
forlistener and notifier to match.
