Summary: Visual Studio 2005 DataSet Designer "Add Query..." wizard fails with a syntax error if SELECT query contains a WHERE clause

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I'm using the latest version of the drivers: 8.02.00.02 and PostgreSQL 8.1 on Windows XP Pro.

When adding simple queries to TableAdapters in Visual Studio 2005 using the DataSet Designer, a simple WHERE clause causes the Add Query

wizard to fail with a syntax error, even though the query executes perfectly if you test it during an intermediate Wizard step.

Simple Steps To Reproduce
-------------------------
1. Open an existing DataSet in the DataSet Designer (or create a new one)
2. Add a TableAdapter, with a simple query (in my case "SELECT * FROM agent")
3. Add a Query to the TableAdapter:
Right-click on TableAdapter > Add Query.. > Use SQL statements > SELECT which returns rows
4. Type in a simple SELECT using a single WHERE clause (in my case "SELECT * from agent WHERE (agent_id = ?)")
5. Click Query Builder.. > Execute Query (prompts for Query Parameter and executes perfectly)
6. Click OK > Next > Next (leave "Fill a DataTable" and "Return a DataTable" checked) > Next
At this point, even though the query executed perfectly in the Query Builder, you get an error:
"The wizard detected the following problems when configuring TableAdapter query "FillBy":
Details:
Generated SELECT statement.
ERROR [42601] ERROR: syntax error at or near ")";
Error while executing the query"

I have found a partial workaround:
1. Use the Wizard to create the query (with WHERE clause omitted)
2. Right-click on the new query and select properties
3. Modify the query in the CommandText property window

Logs attached.

Regards,

Patrick
