field and talbe names with mixed case have to be "Quoted". string
constants, on the other hand, are are in single 'quotes'.

try...

SELECT * from tbl1 where new."postTimestamp' > timestamp '2014-01-01
00:00:00'

those two error logs have different timestamps, I don't believe that
error is on that statement.

there's a whole lot of unnecessary typecasting in that insert, however.

INSERT INTO public.tbl1("vendor", url, "postTimestamp", product, "type",
"itemID")
VALUES ('vendor1', 'http://example.org', timestamp '2014-01-01
01:01:01', 'product1', 'food', 1)

would suffice nicely.
