I created a db 'Hausrat' with a table "Raum". If I look in pgadmin I
find the the table. In sql field is shown:

But psql tells me "Raum" is not existent:

Why?

​Because, "Raum" is not equal to Raum. This is because, when a name is not enclosed in " marks, PostgreSQL will force it to be lower case. So "Raum" is mixed cased, as you would expect. But Raum is basically converted to "raum".​
