Tried it here:
test=> create table test5(x char(50));
CREATE
test=> insert into test5 values ('P');
INSERT 18665 1
test=> insert into test5 values ('Z');
INSERT 18666 1
test=> insert into test5 values ('S');
INSERT 18667 1
test=> select * from test5 where x between 'P' and 'Z';
x
--------------------------------------------------
P
Z
S
(3 rows)
This is the 6.5 development tree, but should be the same on 6.4.*.
