Relation "tablename" does not exist

I have posted this before without receiving replies

My code is as follows:

Public dbRemote As New Connection
Public rsData As New Recordset

dbRemote.Properties("Data Source").Value = "DSM"
dbRemote.Properties("Initial Catalog").Value = "BCM_DSM"
dbRemote.Properties("User ID").Value = "johan"
dbRemote.Properties("Password").Value = "johan"
dbRemote.Open

rsData.Open "tblSuburb", dbRemote, , , adCmdTable


I receive the error "Relation "tblSuburb" does not exist"

Cheers

Can't see it in the archives. Were you subscribed?

Either you created the table quoted (thus preserving its case) and you
are accessing it unquoted (so it's folded to lower-case) or the other
way around. It's how PostgreSQL provides case-insensitive table-names.

So:
CREATE "TaBlE1" ...
SELECT * FROM "TaBlE1" (works)
SELECT * FROM table1 (fails)
CREATE TaBlE2 ...
SELECT * FROM "TaBlE2" (works)
SELECT * FROM table2 (works)
SELECT * FROM TABLE2 (works)

Could you explain a bit more what this code is? Is it Java? Python?
What does it do? I know it's not SQL, and I'm guessing it's some kind
of ORM, but without more information I really don't know how to help
(and perhaps others are having the same trouble).

What is the name of the table in the database itself? Can you provide
an example of SQL that *does* do what you want? Or perhaps some psql
output showing the table definition for "tblSuburb"? There's a chance
that it's a quoting problem: your code is calling "tablSuburb" (with
double-quotes, which tells the server to look for a case-sensitive
match) and your table is actually named "tblsuburb". PostgreSQL
downcases all unquoted identifiers.

Hope this helps a bit.
