It could be a case sensitive problem. See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-syntax-lexical.html Section 4.1.1 for a complete explanation. Basically if the table name was entered with quotes in a form other than 'party' then selecting for 'party' will result in the error above. -- Adrian Klaver aklaver@xxxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
