Does any body know why some columns in postgres is shown as double quotes and some columns without any quotes in pgadmin III.
I am able to insert data for the columns (with quotes) only if I give the column name in double quotes.
I am having problem when I try to insert the data to that table having both the columns (with & without double quotes) from PHP using PDO
There are two reasons why you need double quotes around column names in PostgreSQL.
If you create a table
CREATE TABLE tt1 (
id integer,
"Order" integer
);
The above statement tell PostgreSQL that the "Order" column must be saved in that case.
The following INSERT statements will not work :-
INSERT INTO tt1 (id, Order) VALUES (1, 1)
INSERT INTO tt1 (id, "order") VALUES (2, 2)
INSERT INTO tt1 (id, "OrDer") VALUES (3, 3)
You will have to get the case correct :-
INSERT INTO tt1 (id, "Order") VALUES (1, 1)
INSERT INTO tt1 (id, "Order") VALUES (2, 2)
INSERT INTO tt1 (id, "Order") VALUES (3, 3)
