Thread: Problem with my query whithout double-quotes

Hi, 
My pgsql runs on WinNT Server 4. When I try to 
SELECT nom, prenom FROM individu WHERE numero=2 
I have : ERROR: Relation "individu" does not exist 
It only works if I write : 
SELECT "Individu"."Nom","Individu"."Prenom" FROM "Individu" WHERE
"Individu"."NumIndiv"=2 
Can someone help me ? 
Thanks 
Stephane

It looks like you created the table with double quotes around the
names at which point you should always use double quotes to refer
to it (yes, if the name was "foo" you *can* refer to it as foo, but
you really shouldn't).

Your table names are case sensitive.
PostgreSQL will make them all lowercase by default,
unless you quote them.
