Did you by any chance create the tables from pgAdmin and use mixed-case
names?

PostgreSQL by default will fold names to lower-case unless you put
double-quotes around them, so e.g. "Usarios" is a different table from
"usarios".

When creating a table from pgAdmin, if you mix upper- and lower-case in
a table name then pgAdmin double-quotes the names to preserve the case;
and if you then SELECT from the table without double-quoting the name,
Postgres fold the names to lower-case and then can't find the table.
