The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      5340
Logged by:          pradeep
Email address:      patilpradeep_15@yahoo.com
PostgreSQL version: 1.10.1
Operating system:   windows 7
Description:        Requirement of different syntax on different OS
Details:

If I am using windows 7, I need to pass following query
 "select max(column_name) from table_name"; to get the highest entry in that
column, but if I am using Windows XP, I need to pass query "select
max('column_name') from table_name"; for the same operation.
             Why do I need single quote when I am using XP and not when I am
using windows7 ?
