Probably you quoted the table name when you created it so that it is named
_CON. However when you don't quote the name in later references _CON
is converted to _con which is a different name that doesn't match any
existing table.

This behavior is contrary to the spec (lowercasing instead of uppercasing),
but isn't going to change since uppercase names look ugly.

A good general rule to follow is to either never quote names or always
quote names.
