Tim -
you've had Oracle experience, haven't you? PostgreSQL is also case insensitive,
as per the SQL standard, but defaults to lowercase, rather than uppercase.
try (from a pgsql prompt, preferably):
SELECT id, name FROM companies;
or
SELECT "ID", "NAME" from "COMPANIES";
Ah, I just realized. What version of pgaccess are you running? Constantin
Teodorescu and I fixed up some quoting problems (I've got a bunch of
MixedCase table and field names.) in 0.96. I think a release of 0.97 is due
this week. You could try recreating your tables with lowercase names.
