You don't say _why_ you had to put all your table names in double quotes. I
presume it's because they are mixed or upper case.

PostgreSQL folds identifiers to lower case, where other systems fold to upper,
unless they are enclosed in double quotes in which case case is preserved.

If you had to quote your table names in your create scripts how come you're
having to also change the code to use quote marks? Surely you changed the
create scripts because the code was already using them.
