Thread: ERROR: relation "mytable" does not exist

Hi, I'm a postgres newbie trying to convert a small SQL Server database for
a non-commercial site to postgres 8.0 in windows xp.

A typical table that i've created looks like this...

CREATE TABLE "Country"
(
  "Id" int2 NOT NULL,
  "Name" varchar(50) NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT "PK_Country" PRIMARY KEY ("Id")
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
ALTER TABLE "Country" OWNER TO postgres;
COMMENT ON TABLE "Country" IS 'listing of countries';

If i try SELECT * FROM Country, i get 'ERROR: relation "country" does not
exist.

Also, I'm looking for a good reference on functions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Pete

If you double quote the table and column names, you'll have to use it
that way everywhere in your code. Try

SELECT * FROM "Country";
