#1527 Postgresql: Some Objects->Table tabs have problems with mixed-case table names

create table sf_bug_no_1527."VersionInfo"
worked for me and I can now reproduce the problem.

To solve the problem go to menu File --> Global Preferences --> tab SQL Scripts and check
"Qualify table names in generated scripts with the schema name"
and
"Use double quotes (") for qualifying"

Sorry, I can't reproduce your problem. Heres my system:
Suse Linux Leap 15.5
Open JDK 11.0.10+9
Postgres 16.3 hosted locally
Postgres JDBC 42.7.3

Here's the script I used:

create schema sf_bug_no_1527

create table sf_bug_no_1527.VersionInfo
(
versId integer not NULL PRIMARY KEY,
versName Varchar(200)
)

INSERT INTO sf_bug_no_1527.VersionInfo(versId,versName) VALUES (1, 'Ver1');
INSERT INTO sf_bug_no_1527.VersionInfo(versId,versName) VALUES (2, 'Vers2');
INSERT INTO sf_bug_no_1527.VersionInfo(versId,versName) VALUES (3, 'Vers3');

SELECT * FROM sf_bug_no_1527.VersionInfo


create table sf_bug_no_1527.versioninfozwei
(
vers2Id integer not NULL PRIMARY KEY,
vers2Name Varchar(200)
)

INSERT INTO sf_bug_no_1527.versioninfozwei(vers2Id,vers2Name) VALUES (10, 'Vers10');
INSERT INTO sf_bug_no_1527.versioninfozwei(vers2Id,vers2Name) VALUES (20, 'Vers20');
INSERT INTO sf_bug_no_1527.versioninfozwei(vers2Id,vers2Name) VALUES (30, 'Vers30');

SELECT * FROM sf_bug_no_1527.versioninfozwei

Argh!

SELECT * FROM {schema}."VersionInfo"; (quoted) works properly in the SQL tab.

Copied that at the wrong point in my repro testing and SF doesn't let your edit your bug reports.

:facepalm

Postgresql: Some Objects->Table tabs have problems with mixed-case table names

When viewing Postgres table metadata in the Objects UI, some of the tabs do not properly retrieve the table data if the table name contains any uppercase characters.

Repro:
1. Create a table with a mixed-case name (e.g. VersionInfo) and insert some rows
2. Create another table in the same schema with an all-lowercase name and insert some rows
3. Refresh object tree and metadata cache
4. In the Objects tab open {conn}->{schema}->Table->VersionInfo
5. Info tab displays correctly
6. Content tab is empty even though there are rows
7. Row Count tab is empty even though there are rows (it doesn't even display zero)
8. Columns tab displays correctly, as do the remaining tabs (apparently)
9. Click on the other table in the schema, having the all-lowercase name
10. Info tab displays correctly
11. Content tab displays correctly
12. Row Count tab displays correctly
13. Click back on the mixed-case-name table
14. Info tab displays correctly
15. Content tab is empty even though there are rows
16. Row Count tab is empty even though there are rows (it doesn't even display zero)

It looks like there's a problem with quoting table names in the queries underlying those two tabs when the table name is not all-lowercase, as SELECT * FROM {schema}.VersionInfo; works properly in the SQL tab.
