I'm running a simple select query:
SELECT return_part_i.CntrctTrmntnInd FROM return_part_i LIMIT 10;
And getting the following error:
ERROR: column return_part_i.cntrcttrmntnind does not exist LINE 1:
SELECT return_part_i.CntrctTrmntnInd FROM return_part_i LIMI...
^ HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "return_part_i.CntrctTrmntnInd". SQL state: 42703 Character: 8
I have tried the query with and without the table identifier. I am copying the field name directly from the hint. This is happening with numerous fields in the database.

if you really have a camel case in you column name then you must wrap the column name with double quote
SELECT "CntrctTrmntnInd" FROM return_part_i LIMIT 10;
PostgreSQL columns (object) name are case sensitive when specified with double quotes. Unquoted identifiers are automatically used as lowercase so the correct case sequence must be write with double quotes
and as correctly suggested by Raymond Nijland if you want a LIMIT in result you should use an order by
SELECT "CntrctTrmntnInd" FROM return_part_i ORDER BY "CntrctTrmntnInd" LIMIT 10;

I have this SQL query:
SELECT "Segments.Id", "AggregatedValues.Segment"
FROM "Segments"
INNER JOIN "AggregatedValues" ON "Segments.Id" = "AggregatedValues.Segment";
And I get the following error:
ERROR: column "Segments.Id" does not exist
LINE 1: ... FROM "Segments" INNER JOIN "AggregatedValues" ON "Segments....
^
SQL state: 42703
Character: 99
This is EXTREMELY weird because the column DOES EXIST. The proof is that when selecting the column in the SELECT statement, no errors are thrown. It is also weird because if I change the order and say ON "AggregatedValues.Segment" = "Segments.Id" instead of ON "Segments.Id" = "AggregatedValues.Segment" then AggregatedValues.Segment appears as non existent even tho it also exists.
Any idea? I'm going mad
Thank you very much!!!!

Error: Column does not exist in postgresql for update [duplicate]

The query is:
select *
from "someTable"
where "id" = "9gf1gf3123";
Postgresql gives me the error column does not exist while there wasn't a problem with my sql statement. The id exists, the table exists, I want to see everyting in my table, but does not work.
There are a lot of questions about this error but I wasn't able to find a solution.
The problem was, I was writing string with ", not with '.
When I changed the query like:
select *
from "userGroupUserOrganizations"
where "id" = '9fce8e9b-597a-4100-bb3c-efb86aaa83ae';
it worked

I am trying to store the data in table by using insert query (I am using PostreSQL), but there is it.
ERROR: column "Fleet" does not exist
LINE 1: insert into appuser values("Fleet")
Postresql require column name in values section, but what is that? Why? (There is only test, my 'appuser' table has 2 columns, one of it is primary key auto-generated, so do not get confuse)
Your table has two columns and you are providing a value for only one, so you need to tell the database which one it is. Also, literal strings must be surrounded with single quotes (double quotes stand for column identifiers).
Assuming that the target column is mycol, that would be:
insert into appuser (mycol) values('Fleet')

My simple WHERE query is not working. It says column "Exception" does not exist, but the column it type, that is only a value.
SQL Query:
select * from logs
where type = "Exception"
As S-Man commented the answer is:
" characters are for column names. You have to use ' characters.
Try this one:
SELECT *
FROM
logs
WHERE
type = 'Exception'

select * from note where noteKey = 1
This statement gives me the following error.
ERROR: column "notekey" does not exist
LINE 1: select * from note where noteKey = 1
^
HINT: Perhaps you meant to reference the column "note.noteKey".
I tried note.noteKey, but got the same error. (I used postico by the way, and the noteKey is the primary key of the table note).
What could possibly be wrong with the statement?
You need to connect with psql and run \d note.
If that shows the column is called noteKey with an uppercase K then you either have two options
Rename the column ALTER TABLE note RENAME COLUMN "noteKey" TO notekey;
Forever use double quotes " to query it.
In PostgreSQL we never quote column names. This forces them to be caps sensitive. When not quoted, they're automatically lower cased.
This
select * from note where noteKey = 1
Is the same as
select * from note where notekey = 1
Which is different from
select * from note where "noteKey" = 1
