Let's consider the following postgres query: SELECT * FROM "MY_TABLE" WHERE "bool_var"=FALSE AND "str_var"='something'; The query fails to respond properly when I remove quotes around "str_var" but not when I do the same around "bool_var" . Why? What is the proper way to write the query in that case, no quotes around the boolean column and quotes around the text column? Something else? Orysza Thanks to @TimBiegeleisen's comment, I was able to pinpoint the problem; I used a reserved keyword ("user") as a column name.

I have been trying to query two tables in my database. In the server explorer I can see both tables and even see the columns within them. We'll call them Schema.table1 and Schema.table2 where "Schema" has its first letter capitalized. I have tried running the following queries: select * from Schema.table1; Where I get the following error: ERROR: relation "schema.table1" does not exist I then tried running the next query thinking maybe the capitalization in the schema made a difference. Select * from "Schema.table1"; select "ID" from "Schema.table1"; But the same error persisted: ERROR:

I have been able to link PostgreSQL to java. I have been able to display all the records in the table, however I unable to perform delete operation. Here is my code: con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password); String stm = "DELETE FROM hostdetails WHERE MAC = 'kzhdf'"; pst = con.prepareStatement(stm); pst.executeUpdate(); Please note that MAC is a string field and is written in capital letters.

I have a table with the following structure: Table "public.tbl_point" Column | Type | Modifiers | Storage | Description ------------------------+-----------------------+-----------+----------+------------- Tag_Id | integer | not null | plain | Tag_Name | character varying(30) | not null | extended | Quality | integer | not null | plain | Execute | integer | not null | plain | Output_Index | integer | not null | plain | Last_Update | abstime | | plain | Indexes: "tbl_point_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree ("Tag_Id") Triggers:

I'm writing a Java application to automatically build and run SQL queries. For many tables my code works fine but on a certain table it gets stuck by throwing the following exception: Exception in thread "main" org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: column "continent" does not exist Hint: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "countries.Continent". Position: 8 The query that has been run is the following: SELECT Continent FROM network.countries WHERE Continent IS NOT NULL AND Continent <> '' LIMIT 5 This essentially returns 5 non-empty values from the column. I don't understand why I'm
