Hi,
sorry if this is a FAQ, but I have a bit trouble with PostgreSQL 6.5 on
a RedHat 5.2 machine:
----snip----
js=> create table testi (number int, name varchar(40));
CREATE
js=> insert into testi values (1, 'myname');
INSERT 151274 1
js=> select sum(number) from testi where name='myname';
sum
---
1
(1 row)
js=> select * from testi where name='notthere';
number|name
------+----
(0 rows)
js=> select sum(number) , name from testi where name='notthere' group by
name;
sum|name
---+----
|
(1 row)
----snip----
This crashes my little app (because of the empty row) which works fine
with Oracle:
----snip----
SQL> create table testi (n int, name varchar(40));
Table created.
SQL> insert into testi values (1, 'myname');
1 row created.
SQL> select sum(n) from testi where name='myname';
SUM(N)
----------
1
SQL> select * from testi where name='notthere';
no rows selected
SQL> select sum(n), name from testi where name='notthere' group by name;
no rows selected
----snip----
Which is the buggy one: Oracle, PostgreSQL or my Java-app?
Thanls,
Jochen
