I got the same error too，but if I tried to add another table , it is right .
maybe it is a bug of postgresql。

If I add an column in my first table in my database in postgresql, error message is : column not found ;if I delete all columns ,error message is : syntax error at or near “FROM” (what I do is just execute a sql statement:select * from )

What a godsend — I’m in the exact situatino you describe, and the quotes were the problem for me. The error message I was getting said a column did not exist, and quoted the name of that column as a string value I’d passed in …!
I really miss MySQL…
