Re: C++Builder table exist

Thanks. Case-folding was my problem.
Is there any way of getting PostgreSQL to work according to the SQL standard (The folding of
unquoted names to lower case in PostgreSQL is incompatible with the SQL
standard, which says that unquoted names should be folded to
upper case.), so there is no need for me to add quotes to all names?
