sql statement error: "column .. does not exist"
Im trying from postgres console this command:
select sim.id as idsim,
num.id as idnum
from main_sim sim
left join main_number num on (FK_Numbers_id=num.id);
and I've got this response:
ERROR: column "fk_numbers_id" does not exist LINE 1: ...m from main_sim sim left join main_number num on (FK_Numbers...
but if I simply check my table with:
dbMobile=# \d main_sim
id | integer | not null default
Iccid | character varying(19) | not null
...
FK_Device_id | integer |
FK_Numbers_id | integer |
Indexes:
"main_sim_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)
"main_sim_FK_Numbers_id_key" UNIQUE, btree ("FK_Numbers_id")
"main_sim_Iccid_key" UNIQUE, btree ("Iccid")
"main_sim_FK_Device_id" btree ("FK_Device_id")
Foreign-key constraints:
"FK_Device_id_refs_id_480a73d1" FOREIGN KEY ("FK_Device_id") REFERENCES main_device(id) DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
"FK_Numbers_id_refs_id_380cb036" FOREIGN KEY ("FK_Numbers_id") REFERENCES main_number(id) DEFERRABLE INITIALLY DEFERRED
...as we can see the column exist.
probably it's syntax error, but I'm unable to see what...
any help will'be appreciated. Alessio
No, the column FK_Numbers_id
does not exist, only a column "FK_Numbers_id"
exists
Apparently you created the table using double quotes and therefor all column names are now case-sensitive and you have to use double quotes all the time:
select sim.id as idsim,
num.id as idnum
from main_sim sim
left join main_number num on ("FK_Numbers_id" = num.id);
To recap what is already documented in the manual:
The column foo
and FOO
are identical, the columns "foo"
and "FOO"
are not.
