Relation XX does not exist

From
Matt Allen
Date:
Hi Guys,

Just started using PG today, bought the book and all was cruising along well untill i got the following error:

Relation 'jobdetails' does not exist

when i issued:

INSERT INTO jobdetails (jobDetailsID, jobID, claimName , claimNumber ,placementDate , completionDate, invType ,
insType)values  
(7, 72,'P1234','Mr T',986453483,988639200, 'S', 'W')

All seems to be right here:

impmp=> \d
         List of relations
      Name      |   Type   | Owner
----------------+----------+-------
 jobDetails     | table    | impmp
 jobdetails_seq | sequence | impmp
 jobs           | table    | impmp
 jobs_seq       | sequence | impmp
(4 rows)

Any clues ? Ive restarted the SQL server and to no avail.

Thanks.
Matt

PostgreSQL is case sensetive, so jobdetails is not the same as jobDetails.

Hi Poul
i guess u are gravely mistaken..
The table names in pgsql are not case sentive they are all case
insentive..b Try it out. However if u enclose the name in quotes and
create the table then it is case sensitive.. To access such tables u
willalways have to enclose then in quotes..

You are right when it comes to the psql client, but I'm using ODBC on MS
Windows (with Cold Fusion and PgAdmin) and maybe he is using clients other
than psql to insert into PostgreSQL that has this problem.

At the psql prompt you must put double quotes around table names that need
to be case sensitive...

Can you do
    SELECT * FROM "jobDetails";

Joseph

jobdetails. I don't find it hard to read, and prefer to use underscore
strategically, rather than to separate everyday words.

Typing all the quotes and shifting seems like way too much work, and opens
some confusions with different clients.
