Thread: Problem with public schema

Problem with public schema

From

Hi all
I've just started using postgres and have all my tables defined in the public schema.
For some reason I'm being forced to use sql like the following
select * from public."tblCategory";
instead of
select * from tblCategory;
 
the
show search_path;
command returns
$user,public
 
When I use commands like
select * from tblCategory;
I get the following error

ERROR:  Relation "tblcategory" does not exist

 

Anyone got any suggestions on what I'm missing here?

 

I tried to post this to the pgsql-novice mailing list but it doesn't seem to appear on the mailing list.

You must have defined it as:
   CREATE TABLE "tblCategory"

If you define a table using quotes, you need to quote it on access. If
you don't define using quotes, you don't need quotes on access.

You mixed in uppercase/lowercase letters. PGAdminIII, if you are using
that, will automatically include the double quotes in the object name.
