Thread: Unable to access table named "user"

Unable to access table named "user"

From
Joe Kramer
Date:
Hi,

I have table named user (lower case) in public schema.
I can access it using Pgadmin as
SELECT * from "user"; SELECT * from "public.user"; SELECT * FROM public.user;

I can't find any way to access this table from Jdbc.
Tried to access as public.user, user in single and double quotes, nothing helps.
I get exceptions like
ERROR: relation "public.user" does not exist
ERROR: relation "user" does not exist

Also tried to execute "SET search_path TO public" beforehand in same
jdbc connection, makes no difference.

Is there any way?

Thanks.

Odd, I would not expect the 2nd variant to work, unless you also have a
table called "public.user", ie with a dot in the name.

These should all work:
SELECT * FROM "user"
SELECT * FROM public.user
SELECT * FROM public."user"
