The above query does have a syntax error ("from FROM"), although
the query in your original report looked correct.

I downloaded postgresql-8.1-404.jdbc3.jar onto a Solaris 9 box
running PostgreSQL 8.1.2 and wrote a test program to run your
original query:

select id_caisse as caisse from adm_pat where nip = '20020523'

The query ran successfully and logged the following:

LOG:  statement: PREPARE <unnamed> AS select id_caisse as caisse from adm_pat where nip = '20020523'
LOG:  statement: <BIND>
LOG:  statement: EXECUTE <unnamed>  [PREPARE:  select id_caisse as caisse from adm_pat where nip = '20020523']

There should be a syntax error due to "from FROM"; please post the
actual queries you're running.  It might also be helpful if you
could post a simple but complete program so we can see everything
you're doing.  You might also try asking in the pgsql-jdbc list to
see if anybody there has heard of this problem.
