Thank you, but it throws the same exception. However, this select was
just an example, here is the real one:

SELECT TS_FMT(DatumZP,'%Y-%m') AS Usek , sum(CenaNetA) as Vystup1,
sum(CenaNetB) as Vystup2 FROM OdbFak GROUP BY TS_FMT(DatumZP,'%Y-%m')

and this was working prior to the reinstallation, so I wonder where else
may be error. Now I tried with the old DB file, throws the same error.
So it is either bug in (my instance of) FB 1.5.2 (which was not in
1.5.0). I don't know what may be the problem. Could I ommit to copy some
files or settings ?

Thank you again

Rado
