Thread: Unable to find column

Unable to find column

From

Dear all,

I have a table automobile which has a column id.

Table consists of id,make,year of manufacturing

I use dbeaver for querying..

Select * from automobile provides me results

However select id from automobile yields column doesn't exists.

I tried double quotes on id As well but same error.

But if I drag and drop id or use the id which is auto prompted from dbeaver,it works 💪. 

select "id" from automobile using drag and drop of id in dbeaver works.

But if I manually type "id" it won't.

Any clue on this.

Visually both statements are alike


Table is in public schema.

Thanks, 
Arun

Possibly there is a case sensitivity issue. If you use double quotes the string is protected and searched for with explicit case. If not it is folded to lower case. 

I don’t know about dbeaver but I suspect case sensitivity. 

But if I manually type "id" it won't.

Any clue on this.

Do you have psql(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-psql.html( 
available?

If so in psql what does:

\d automobile

return?

Hi Adrian,

\d shows the tables and this id which is a sequence.

What I asked for was the output of:

\d automobile

Add that output to your reply.
