Using custom SQL via ODBC throws errors

‎10-27-2021 03:27 PM

We are trying to use custom SQL as a data source against PostgreSQL, using the latest, official ANSI and Unicode PostgreSQL drivers for Windows.
We are unable to customize the SQL  statement beyond "Select * from table" - anything else throws ODBC errors.
Does anyone know of potential solutions?

I discovered that PosgreSQL requires double quotes around all column names to avoid errors.

This solves the issues. Thank you.
