FWIW, the following worked fine for me:
#+name: my-query
#+header: :engine postgresql
#+header: :dbhost <host>
#+header: :dbuser <user>
#+header: :dbpassword <password>
#+header: :database sheetmusic
#+begin_src sql
SELECT id, creator, title, category, boxnumber FROM music
WHERE id > 300;
#+end_src
#+RESULTS: my-query
| # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- | |
| | |
| id | creator | title
| category | boxnumber |
