Re: Query about SQL in PostgreSQL

Postgres has the weird behavour to compare identifies case sensitive BUT to
downcast any non-quoted identifier inside an SQL statement.
So it is reccomended to just use lower case (for readability)

Subject: [SQL] Query about SQL in PostgreSQL

Hi,
I am new user of PostGreSQL 8.0.1. While using it i faced following issue.
As SQL is Case insensetive Language So the Uper or Lower cases are not
significant. But while using the database there is problem.
If i Create new Table with name (tblstudent) then upon SQL queries it is
fine to use Select * from tblstudent. However i face probel if i give the
name of table in Capital letters i.e. if the name is (tblStudent) then upon
using Select * from tblStudent, following error is appeard:
ERROR: relation "tblst" does not exist

And if i use the query Select * from "tblStudent" then it works fine.


Please help me out in this regard.
Nadeem
