No, I mean to say that names will get downcased in some situations if not double-quoted. I wonder whether your database is *really* named "newDB" and not "newdb" ... if it is, you probably need double quotes in your ECPG call, and if it isn't, you probably need to spell it as newdb not newDB in ECPG. regards, tom lane
