Re: [Pypgsql-users] tables with small letters?

[Ben S. <sch...@pr...>]

Unfortunately table names that aren't pure lower-case are a bit 
annoying. I converted an app from Access to Postgres and changing the 
code for all the table names wasn't an option. Try changing your select 
statement to: 'select * from "Farbton"' and see if that doesn't work. 
Everywhere you reference a table name you will have to enclose it in "". 
Its up to you to decide which is the bigger pain in the butt to deal 
with, quoting table names or changing them to lower case in the db 
structure.

    good luck,
