Thread: psql problem

Does anyone know why when I am in a particular DB as user postgres and use
the following statement, why I get this error?" 

This is the statement;
SELECT * FROM some_file where ID = 1;


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error: ERROR:  attribute 'id' not found
Execution time 0.02 sec.


But if I use the following statement, everything is returned fine.

SELECT * FROM servlet_file;


Thanks ahead of time,

Rick Parker

What is the definition of the table 'some_table'??

That indicates that you have no column named 'id'..

That's a totally different query which would yeild totally different
results..

[Volker Paul]  If your ID field is really uppercase, try:
SELECT * FROM some_file where "ID" = 1;
