Description (last modified by )
Fixtures generated using an app running against mysql can't be imported by that same app if switched to run against postgresql. This appears to have to do with different handling of mixed case table/column names in django's drivers for the two databases.
Here's the error I get. The same error occurs regardless of fixture format. Note the case difference between spackle1_projecttemplate_subjectareas (from the exception) and  spackle1_projecttemplate_subjectAreas (from the sql):
Loading 'spackle1/fixtures/spackle1' fixtures...
Installing xml fixture 'spackle1/fixtures/spackle1' from absolute path.

This does not appear to be a bug anymore.  The default table name is app_label + '_' + module_name, where module_name is the lowercase object_name.  Further, the table name in this example is not quoted, however in the latest trunk it is quoted, so if db_table is set to a name with upper-casing, the code still works.
