postgres: ERROR: column “catcode” does not exist

Question

I have a postgress table called catcodes. When I do

select Catcode from catcodes;

It gives me an error like this

ERROR:  column "catcode" does not exist
LINE 1: select Catcode from catcodes;

when I describe the table there is a column Catcode.

Column | Type |

-------------+-------------------+

Catcode | character varying |

select * from catcodes

works though.

Postgres is case-sensitive, you should try using quotes

SELECT "Catcode" FROM catcodes;
