> In cdr/cdr_pgsql.c function config_module() discovers the configured cdr table's schema. The SQL statement in there accesses pg_catalog.pg_attrdef.adsrc - a column which has been obsolete sind PostgreSQL 8.0 (released January 2005) and finally removed in PostgreSQL 12 (released Oct 3rd 2019).
> Initialization of the cdr_pgsql module against a PostgreSQL 12 server fails with message
>   cdr_pgsql.c: Failed to query database columns: ERROR:  column d.adsrc does not exist
> and no CDRs will be logged.
> Fortunately, the same information which once was stored in adsrc is accessable via column adbin and function pg_catalog.pg_get_expr, which is the recommended way since PostgreSQL 8.0. I'll attach a patch.
> Using that patch, cdr_pgsql initializes fine again and I get my CDRs logged to the database as with older PostgreSQL versions.

> https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/functions-info.html#FUNCTIONS-INFO-CATALOG-TABLE
> On a side note, there's code supporting very old PostgreSQL releases in cdr_pgsql ("before version 7.3", which is end-of-life for over a decade) which I do not touch in this issue but should perhaps removed.
