Summary03527: Due to SQL bad syntax, survey can not be activated at all under PostgreSQL (any version)
Description

The problem is located at admin/activate.php, line 63:

$groupquery = "SELECT g.gid,g.group_name,count(q.qid) as count from {$dbprefix}questions as q RIGHT JOIN {$dbprefix}groups as g ON q.gid=g.gid WHERE g.sid=$postsid group by g.gid AND g.language='$baselang' AND q.language='$baselang';";

As you can see, there is a condition, AND g.language='$baselang' AND q.language='$baselang' after group by clause, what it is not very sql compliant :-p. I saw that MySQL doesn't have any problem with that, but PostgreSQL just can't execute the sentence, so just reescribing the sentence is enough to solve the bug, just this way:

$groupquery = "SELECT g.gid,g.group_name,count(q.qid) as count from {$dbprefix}questions as q RIGHT JOIN {$dbprefix}groups as g ON q.gid=g.gid WHERE g.sid=$postsid AND g.language='$baselang' AND q.language='$baselang' group by g.gid;";

I'm telling my friend kadejo if this can be uploaded, in fact I can make all PostgreSQL tests because I use limesurvey with that DBMS at work... could I?

TagsNo tags attached.

Also, it is needed to include g.group_name under group by clause, so line 63 would be:
$groupquery = "SELECT g.gid,g.group_name,count(q.qid) as count from {$dbprefix}questions as q RIGHT JOIN {$dbprefix}groups as g ON q.gid=g.gid WHERE g.sid=$postsid AND g.language='$baselang' AND q.language='$baselang' group by g.gid,g.group_name;";

Thank you Patricia!

Your fix works great. I think that nowadays there is nobody testing LimeSurvey thoroughly on PostgreSQL, so if you can work on this, everybody will be very happy!. I am going to ask that on limesurvey-developers.
