Ibator PostgreSQL Usage Notes

Case Sensitivity

PostgreSQL is case sensitive with regards to all database identifiers (table names, schema names, column names, etc.) In addition, PostgreSQL has a distinct preference for all identifiers being in all lower case letters. If you use all lower case identifiers for PostgreSQL, then Ibator will find tables and write correct SQL with no additional consideration. If you used mixed cased, or upper case, identifiers you will need to configure Ibator appropriately:

Examples:

  <table schema="HR" tableName="Employees"
      delimitIdentifiers="true" delimitAllColumns="true"/>

Or...

  <table schema="HR" tableName="Employees" delimitIdentifiers="true" >
    <columnOverride column="EmployeeId" delimitedColumnName="true" />
    <columnOverride column="EmployeeName" delimitedColumnName="true" />
  </table>
