PostgreSQL version: 9.4.4
Operating system: Debian stretch/sid
Description:
I aliased a table using the letters TO and the parser pulled an error.
Happens in psql as well as the JDBC driver.
By altering the table alias to TOL overcame the problem.
dinkumerp=# SELECT TO.tol_id, TO.lang_code, SL.lang_name, TO.no_list_text,
TO.table_comment FROM supported_languages SL, tables_opt_list TO WHERE
TO.lang_code = SL.lang_code AND TO.table_key = 'COA' ORDER BY TO.lang_code;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "TO"
LINE 1: SELECT TO.tol_id, TO.lang_code, SL.lang_name, TO.no_list_tex...

TO is a fully reserved word. See

Since TO is fully reserved in the SQL syntax, including PostgreSQL's
implementation, this is not surprising. If you really want to use those
letters you need to double-quite them. "TO".column_name.
