You are creating one database with its name quoted, or accessing it that
way. PostgreSQL folds identifiers to lower-case unless you quote them,
in which case it leaves them alone.

CREATE DATABASE Test1   => test1
CREATE DATABASE TEST1   => test1
CREATE DATABASE "Test1" => Test1

Oh - most recent 8.2 is 8.2.11. too.
