To specify an upper-case or mixed-case name in <option>-t</> and related
switches, you need to double-quote the name; else it will be folded to
lower case (see <xref
linkend="APP-PSQL-patterns" endterm="APP-PSQL-patterns-title">). But
double quotes are special to the shell, so in turn they must be quoted.
Thus, to dump a single table with a mixed-case name, you need something
like
<screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>pg_dump -t '"MixedCaseName"' mydb &gt; mytab.sql</userinput>
</screen>
</para>
