Thread: [GENERAL] Why is table not found?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I created a db 'Hausrat' with a table "Raum". If I look in pgadmin I
find the the table. In sql field is shown:

> -- Table: "Raum"

Object names are folded to lower-case automatically, unless you enclose
them in double-quotes:

   select * from "Raum";

Hello Egon,

You created the table using delimited identifiers:

"Raum"

which is not the same as

Raum of raum or RAUM

When you use delimited identifiers (eg: "MyTable" instead of MyTable), the
name becomes case sensitive.

When you use SQL, you need to use delimited identifiers:

select * from "Raum"

Instead of adding quotes to your select statement (as others suggested), IMHO the better thing to do is to remove them
fromyour create statements. Most of the time there is no benefit creating case-sensitive identifiers in a database.

Thank you all for your answers.

You see: it is a newbie question.
