Answer 1

You're getting this error be PostgreSQL uses double quotes (") to signify system identifiers (such as tables, columns, etc.) while using single quotes (') to signify text.

You want your query to be:

INSERT INTO public."LeadCustomer"(
    "CustomerID", "FirstName", "Surname", "BillingAddress", "Email")
    VALUES ('12', 'Lola', 'Smith', '24 Cashmere Lane, Lancashire, LA4 6QT', '[email protected]');
