You can use PGamin to create tables manually via GUI selection options. For advanced users we recommend passing SQL statements. In the PGamin screenshots below we do the same as in the following SQL code. SQL has two flavours: case insensitive (A and a are the same) and case-sensitive (A and a afre different). Here we choose the case-sensitive variant by surrounding all table and column names with "" quotes. This approach allows for easy exchange of variables with Matlab which is case-sensitive too. The column names "ObservationID" and "Value" have mixed case to be able to test this. This example comes from the OpenEarthTools postgresql toolbox.

CREATE TABLE "TEST01" () WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
ALTER TABLE "TEST01" OWNER TO postgres;
ALTER TABLE "TEST01" ADD COLUMN "ObservationID" integer;
ALTER TABLE "TEST01" ALTER COLUMN "ObservationID" SET NOT NULL;
CREATE SEQUENCE "TEST01_ObservationID_seq" INCREMENT 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807 START 6 CACHE 1;
ALTER TABLE "TEST01_ObservationID_seq" OWNER TO postgres;
ALTER TABLE "TEST01" ALTER COLUMN "ObservationID" SET DEFAULT nextval('"TEST01_ObservationID_seq"'::regclass);
ALTER TABLE "TEST01" ADD CONSTRAINT "TEST01_pkey" PRIMARY KEY("ObservationID" );
ALTER TABLE "TEST01" ADD COLUMN "Value" real;
