When you created the table using the quotes, it forced the name to use
mixed-case. Therefore, you must use the exact same case afterwards.
The simple way to get around this is to not use quotes around the
tablename, or simply lowercase the name in your initial create:
CREATE TABLE MirrorHosts ...
or
CREATE TABLE "mirrorhosts"...
If you have already created the "MirrorHosts" table and do not want to
lose the data inside it, you could do this:
CREATE TABLE mirrorhosts AS SELECT * FROM mirrorhosts;
DROP TABLE mirrorhosts;
(this assumes the table is simple and has no foreign keys, triggers, etc.)
