Linked server query problem

["Anderson, Steven" <steven.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have SQL Server 2005 that is linked to Postgresql  8.3.1-1

 

The following query does not work

SELECT id FROM ALERT.novastar.[public].[point]

 

Error:

OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ALERT" returned message "ERROR: syntax error at or near ""Col1004"";

Error while executing the query".

Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

Cannot execute the query

"SELECT "Tbl1002"."id" "Col1004" FROM "novastar"."public"."point" "Tbl1002""

against OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ALERTIII".

 

This query does work from MS SQL:

EXEC ('SELECT id FROM point') at ALERT

 

Any ideas as what the problem is

 

Thank you
