Thread: Using Quotation marks.
Hello, I am using postgres installed in two different computers, in one I have to do the queries using quotation marks (select * from "Table") and in the other I can do select * from Table. What can I do to disable the use of quotation marks? Thanks Daniel Gomes Mendes

Without double-quotes identifiers are always cast to lower case before
execution. You might want to read this chapter of the docs on
identifiers and keywords: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS
Also, you'd better not use reserved words as identifiers. If you do,
you have to double-quote those every time. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-keywords-appendix.html
In any case, this is probably not the right list for your questions.
Try <pgsql.general> or <pgsql.novice>.
