put into postgres without success.  I don't seem to be able to access
the tables.

Here is what I am doing an the error that I am getting... using Mac

s57=# SELECT * FROM FAIRWY;

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Kurt,

PostgreSQL folds table names to lower case unless they are quoted in
double quotes - what does SELECT * FROM "FAIRWY" give you? Also
you can get a listing of tables in the database by using \d in psql.


HTH,

Mark.
