Hi,

I doing a simple insert into a table re Perl/DBI
"INSERT INTO party (party_id, party_type_id, description, status_id)
VALUES ($partyId, 'PERSON', 'Initial Import','PARTY_ENABLED')

and I'm getting a
"ERROR: relations "party" does not exist"
I get the same error message in pgadmin.

The table "party" certainly exists.

Are you really connecting to the database you think you are?

I have searched for answers without any luck.
Anyone know what might be going on and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance, Case

Two things come to mind.
1) Do you have the necessary permissions to access the schema table 'party'
is in?
2) How was the name for 'party' originally entered? 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.

Other possibilities:

- Your schema search_path is set to not include the schema that
contains the table.
- You are in the wrong database.

What is the exact command with which you prove your claim that
'The table "party" certainly exists'?

Is this command issued as the same user that runs the insert?
