Either you created the table quoted (thus preserving its case) and you
are accessing it unquoted (so it's folded to lower-case) or the other
way around. It's how PostgreSQL provides case-insensitive table-names.

So:
CREATE "TaBlE1" ...
SELECT * FROM "TaBlE1" (works)
SELECT * FROM table1 (fails)
CREATE TaBlE2 ...
SELECT * FROM "TaBlE2" (works)
SELECT * FROM table2 (works)
SELECT * FROM TABLE2 (works)
