Thread: nemeric table names

Hi all I want to create table  in my database, But the table name must
begin from numric value.
Such As:
CREATE TABLE 123 (
name                 VARCHAR(20),
phone                 CHAR(20)
);

When i do this i got error message. Bottomline is that i want table
name starting with numeric value. Can anyone let me know how to do
this in postgresql?

double quote the table name as
create table "123" (
...
)

The table can be accessed only with double quotes.

with regards,
S.Gnanavel
