Summary15742: RC export_responses fails with "undefined table"
Description

On my newly-upgraded installation, the api call export_responses fails (used to work on 3.21.1):

Request:
{"method": "export_responses", "params": {"sSessionKey": "(key)", "iSurveyID": (survey id), "sDocumentType": "json", "sLanguageCode": null, "sCompletionStatus": "complete", "sHeadingType": "code", "sResponseType": "short", "iFromResponseID": null, "iToResponseID": null}, "id": 1}

Response:
CDbCommand failed to execute the SQL statement: SQLSTATE[42P01]: Undefined table: 7 ERROR: missing FROM-clause entry for table "answerl10ns"
LINE 1: ...id = question.qid) WHERE (question.sid=(survey id) AND answerL10n...

Steps To Reproduce

Activate JSON-RPC interface and issue an export_responses request to the endpoint like above.

Additional Information

tried on two distinct installations of the same version, on separate servers

Hi,
thanks @cdorin for taking this. Are you able to reproduce the issue? Can I somehow help to resolve it?

Not yet. I am aware of the issues that exist with Posgres though - we will discuss in the team about them and try solving them asap.

Can you try to use 4.0.1 and let us know if the issue still persists?

Thanks for your fast response!
Tried with 4.0.1+200120, same issue unfortunately.

Please let me know if I can help further!

The issue might be that in postgres, you have to place an "AS" before the table alias (hence, LEFT OUTER JOIN "lime_answer_l10ns" AS "answerL10ns") whereas in MySQL you can leave it out. I don't have enough insight how queries are created in LS/Yii (I'm more fluent in Django), but assuming that queries are auto-generated I wonder why this issue doesn't arise elsewhere.

Any news on that @cdorin? I could try to dig deeper if you give me a hint where and how the query is built.

I got news, at least. My first guess was wrong; the aliasing in the query is valid also in Postgres.
What doesn't work, is the alias naming answerL10ns: In Postgres, unquoted identifiers (such as the answersL10ns in the WHERE-clause) are always folded to lowercase, wheres quoted identifiers (such as the "answerL10ns" everywhere else in the clause) are used as-is (see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/sql-syntax-lexical.html#SQL-SYNTAX-IDENTIFIERS for more info, especially the last paragraph of that section).

I tried to run the query with quotes added (in application/helpers/admin/export/SurveyDao.php, line 46 on fc998ce) – works! Now I only need to know how to do this cross-DB-safely, since MySQL uses backticks instead of double quotes as table name delimiter per default, afaik (not an expert in MySQL). If you can give me a hint on how this is done in LS/Yii, I'd be happy to create a PR.
