delete “column does not exist”

Question

I\'m trying to execute a very simple delete query in Postgres

Query:

delete from \"Tasks\" where id = \"fc1f56b5-ff41-43ed-b27c-39eac9354323\";
         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that you are using double quotes (") and single quotes (') interchangeably. SQL treats what's inside double quotes "" as an identifier (i.e., table name, proc name, column name, etc.), character constants need to be enclosed in single quotes

You can say:

delete from "Tasks" where id = 'fc1f56b5-ff41-43ed-b27c-39eac9354323'
