Hi Dave/Guillaume,

Please find the attached patch to resolve this issue.
In the following commit - the file was modified and we were not able to spot the issue earlier.
a265fb2977253fce436e276320d337425639384c

It can be applied to both branches - REL-1_14_0_PATCHES & master.


I'm not sure I see how this will work. From what I can see of the patch, it'll use the column name proargdefvals for PPAS 8.3+ and proargdefaults for PG. However;

- PPAS 8.3 uses proargdefvals
- PPAS 9.0 uses proargdefaults (I don't have 8.4 to hand, but I assume it took the new PG naming) 
- PostgreSQL uses proargdefaults.

So, shouldn't the code be something more like:

wxString defCol;

if (EdbMinimumVersion(8, 3))
{
    defCol = wxT("'proargdefvals'");
}

if (BackendMinimumVersion(8, 4))
{
    defCol = wxT("'proargdefaults'");
}

Please check PPAS 8.4, and update the patch accordingly (assuming you agree with my comments).
Only PPAS 8.3 uses, 'proargdefvals' for default arguments.
PG 8.4+ uses 'proargdefaults' for it and PPAS 8.4+adopted it from PG 8.4.

As per your suggestion, if we set the string for defCol only for particular version of database server.
The variable - defCol will be empty for PG < 8.4 (not PPAS).
And, the query following the variable assignment will result in to an error all the time for those servers.
