… But if the name of the database contains uppercase characters, the same problem arises :

psql: FATAL: database ""Dj"" does not exist

I am not pgadmin4 support, but this looks to me like the problem is your naming convention.
Per PostgreSQL (and SQL) object names MUST start with a letter.
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS>
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS

So names a database with a number (even if quoted), is a no no.
Try renaming the database to db815, and see if the problem still exists.

Subject: [pgadmin-support] pgAdmin4 Maintenance gives Database does not exist

Hello all,
This is in no way urgent, and concerns pgAdmin4 on windows 10, with postgres 9.6. When I right-click on the database, choose maintence, and run analyze, I am getting a ‘database does not exist’ error. For example, when I try to analyze database 815, I am getting the error : psql: FATAL: database ""815"" does not exist
Note the datebase name has two double quotes. Could this be a configuration issue?
Executine analyze in an sql window works fine.

Thanks,
Mark Watson
