Обсуждение: Case problem

I have tables with different case in them, for example Customers and
CustomerID is a column in that table.  When I try to access the table or
column in either a php script or psql is converts everything to lowercase
and then I can't use them...why!  Doesn't Postgres support case?  I can't
read my code if everything is in lowercase.  Thank you in advance.

Thank you.  That did it.

Try with " , ie: "CustomerID"

Try using '"' around the names:

SELECT * FROM "Customers" WHERE "CustomerID" = 42;

If you want to use mixed case names place them in double quotes and
postgres will leave the case the same.  However, you'll always need to
use the double quotes in order to find the tables/columns/etc...
