Re: pgAdmin4 Maintenance gives Database does not exist

Mark,
Please DO NOT use CamelCase names (or UPPERCASE) in PostgreSQL. By default, PostgreSQL will convertall names to lowercase (unless quoted). However, quoting object names is never a good idea and CamelCase(or UPPERCASE) names are not necessary. They are a hold over from application programming, but do not
translate well to databases.

Objet : Re: [pgadmin-support] pgAdmin4 Maintenance gives Database 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   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.   Melvin Davidson

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
