Thread: case sensitiv table and column names

Hallo Mailinglist

If I use PostgreSQL from PHP3 with pg_exec($db,"SELECT * FROM
Kunden"); I get an error like "Warning: PostgresSQL query failed: ERROR:
kunden: Table does not exist."
Thats right because the table called "Kunden" with an upper K.

What should I do that PHP/PostgreSQL accept case sensitiv table names ?

Is there any reason why u can't use kunden?

I guess since PHP is open source [and so is Postgres] u could probably hack
that code on your own to accept either upper or lower case names.

On the other hand,  maybe there is a simpler solution, but I have not yet
stumbled on it...

Just put Kunden  in quotes:

pg_exec($db,"SELECT * FROM \"Kunden\"");
