Thread: BUG #1100: pd_dump doesn't work with upper case table names

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1100
Logged by:          Bill Erickson

Email address:      wjerickson@lucent.com

PostgreSQL version: 7.4

Operating system:   Solaris 9

Description:        pd_dump doesn't work with upper case table names

Details:

I have found that in PG 7.4.1 the dump_pg command
no longer seems to work with upper case table names.

Here is how I am using the command:

pg_dump -h pglocalhost -U scncraft -a -d -t SA_SSN;

If I change the table name to lower case the command
will work.

Works fine for me:

regression=# create table "SA_SSN" ("F1" int);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# \q
$ pg_dump -t SA_SSN regression
-- (produces dump of table)
$ pg_dump -t sa_ssn regression
pg_dump: specified table "sa_ssn" does not exist

Are you quite sure you created the table with an upper-case name?

Also: some time back, we had versions of pg_dump that behaved
differently in this respect; perhaps you are mistakenly invoking an
old pg_dump.  (Though I'd think that a pg_dump that old would fail
completely against a 7.4 server anyway ...)

Hi Bill,

You have to set the bd-name in quotes. Then the command
pg_dump -h pglocalhost -U scncraft -a -d -t "SA_SSN";
should work.
