Thread: Problem with inserting data into a table.....
Hi All, new to postgreSQL..... I'm running postgreSQL 8.0.1 on win 2k and and i have created a database (for testing....) using pgAdmin-III application i'v'e also managed to create table with just few simple columns... so far so good. The problem arises when i'm trying to insert some data into the table using the following statement: insert into COL_LED_TBL (LED_STATE_COLOR,NEID,LED_STATE_MODE,PHY_INDEX,PORT_INDEX,MODE_DFGH) values (1,1234,3,0,104,'test led numbetr 1'); the name of the table & its columns are correct (I've checked it....) The execution fails with the following message : ERROR: relation "col_led_tbl" does not exist It seems that it doesn't recognize the table at all ?! I've tried to execute it from pgAdmin SQL Query tool & also from psql utility both present me the same error above... Does any one could point me to the problem ? Appreciate any help... sharon
maybe you can try to add the name of the schema like this :
insert into my_schema.COL_LED_TBL
(LED_STATE_COLOR,NEID,LED_STATE_MODE,PHY_INDEX,PORT_INDEX,MODE_DFGH)
values (1,1234,3,0,104,'test led numbetr 1');

Hi All,
new to postgreSQL.....
I'm running postgreSQL 8.0.1 on win 2k and and i have created a database
(for testing....) using pgAdmin-III application
i'v'e also managed to create table with just few simple columns... so far so
good.
The problem arises when i'm trying to insert some data into the table using
the following statement:
insert into COL_LED_TBL
(LED_STATE_COLOR,NEID,LED_STATE_MODE,PHY_INDEX,PORT_INDEX,MODE_DFGH)
values (1,1234,3,0,104,'test led numbetr 1');
the name of the table & its columns are correct (I've checked it....)
The execution fails with the following message : ERROR: relation
"col_led_tbl" does not exist
It seems that it doesn't recognize the table at all ?!
I've tried to execute it from pgAdmin SQL Query tool & also from psql
utility both present me the same error above...
Does any one could point me to the problem ?
Appreciate any help...

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

You'll have created it using pgAdmin as an upper-case table, and are trying to access it folded to lower-case (as in the error message). If you create/query tables without quotes they get folded to lower-case. Quoting creation/queries preserves case. So: CREATE TABLE "Foo" ... SELECT * FROM "Foo" (works) SELECT * FROM Foo (fails, gets folded to lower-case) CREATE TABLE Bar ... SELECT * FROM Bar (works) SELECT * FROM BAR (works) SELECT * FROM "bar" (works) SELECT * FROM "Bar" (fails - it was created as lower-case) You might find section 4.1 of the manuals useful, as well as the FAQ http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/faqs/FAQ.html In fact, if possible make a nice hot cup of tea/coffee, put a favourite CD on, put up your feet and read the FAQ and first third of the manuals before going any further. Time well spent, I can guarantee it. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

postgres folds names to lowercase. either create your table and it's
columns with lowercase names, or quote the names:
insert into "COL_LED_TBL" ("LED_STATE_COLOR", "NEID","LED_STATE_MODE",
"PHY_INDEX", "PORT_INDEX", "MODE_DFGH")
values (1,1234,3,0,104,'test led numbetr 1');
