Re: PGAdmin for PostgreSQL 9.3 creates tables with double quotes embedded in the name

Thank you for your reply. You said, in part:

What's happening in your case is that the table must have been created like this:

create table "Log" [.....]

But the whole point of my message is that that is not how this table was created. I did not open an SQL window and type in the CREATE TABLE command manually. I selected the database in PGAdmin, went down to the Tables list (which said I had 0 table), right clicked on the word "Tables", and selected "New table". In the new table dialog I entered the table name as Log (no quotes), I defined its columns and its primary key, and I clicked OK. After I did all that, I then found that "select * from Log" (no quotes around Log) failed, claiming there was no relation named "Log". I then found that "select * from "Log" " (quotes around Log) worked. I then concluded that the table was being created with the double quotes included in the table name.

I did find one place where I actually saw the name referred to as '"Log"'. That's the word Log, surrounded by double quotes, and then surrounded again by single quotes. Unfortunately, I do not now remember where that was.
