Because SQL is case insensitive, by default. Postgresql implements this by
downcasing all identifiers (table and column names) unless quoted with
double quotes. I'm guessing that you created this table via MS-Access. The
ODBC driver quotes identifiers by default.

Try this:

update quickstock set "ItemDesc" = '10000',"Qty" = 0.0,salesprice =
0.0 where "StockID" = '8597' \g
