column and table names

I am trying to find sql to get table and column names. I found these:

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema = 'public'

This one works, but the column name one below doesn’t.

SELECT column_name FROM information_schema.columns WHERE table_name ='marketLayout'

Can anyone tell me how to get the wording right?

The column query should work assuming the table name is correct. Your
table name may be case folded, so try with a lowercase 'L', e.g.
'marketlayout'

Try using double quotes:

… WHERE table_name =”marketLayout”
