Select Stament Issue??
Trying out PostgreSQL for the first time and running into a minor
problem.
I created two tables one with the Add table wizard the other hard-core
script.
Script made table:
Select * from Example
--This works as expected
Select * from EXAMPLE
--This works as expected
Wizard made table:
Select * from Example
--ERROR: relation "Example" does not exist
Select * from "Example"
--This works as expected
The wizard table has created a case sensitive restriction on me and
forced me to use quotes. How do I turn this off?
I did a couple of tests and found that occationally when using the
wizard it added "" to my names. When this happens it forces the whole
table to be case sensitive. Anyway I think I'll just stick to manually
creating my tables.

When you created the table you likely did this:
create table Example (...
While the wizard actually did this:
create table "Example" (...
So, postgresql folded case on your create table, and actually created a
table called example, while the wizard's quoting the table name meant
the table was named Example. This should fix you up:
alter table "Example" rename to example;
