Re: [SQL] Query about SQL in PostgreSQL

[KÖPFERL Robert]

Postgres has the weird behavour to compare identifies case sensitive BUT to downcast any non-quoted identifier inside an SQL statement.

So it is reccomended to just use lower case (for readability)

Subject: [SQL] Query about SQL in PostgreSQL

Hi,

I am new user of PostGreSQL 8.0.1. While using it i faced following issue. As SQL is Case insensetive Language So the Uper or Lower cases are not significant. But while using the database there is problem.

If i Create new Table with name (tblstudent) then upon SQL queries it is fine to use Select * from tblstudent. However i face probel if i give the name of table in Capital letters i.e. if the name is (tblStudent) then upon using Select * from tblStudent, following error is appeard:

ERROR:  relation "tblst" does not exist 

 

And if i use the query Select * from "tblStudent" then it works fine.

 

 

Please help me out in this regard.

Nadeem
