I'm running Postgres 7.0.3 on a RedHat Linux 6.1. For some reason, rtrim
is giving me an incorrect result:
db01=# SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename LIKE '%_opto' AND
tablename NOT LIKE 'pg%' ORDER BY tablename ASC ; tablename
-----------------center_out_optocircles_optoellipse_optoex_ellipse_optofigure8_optoro_ellipse_opto
(6 rows)
Now I want to return the same thing only with the trailing '_opto'
removed:
db01=# SELECT rtrim(tablename, '_opto') FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename
LIKE '%_opto' AND tablename NOT LIKE 'pg%' ORDER BY tablename ASC ; rtrim
------------center_ou <=======================
NOTE: the trailing 't' is missingcirclesellipseex_ellipsefigure8ro_ellipse
(6 rows)
However, as you can see, the 'center_out' table is missing the last 't'.
If I exclude the '_':
db01=# SELECT rtrim(tablename, 'opto') FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename
LIKE '%_opto' AND tablename NOT LIKE 'pg%' ORDER BY tablename ASC ; rtrim
-------------center_out_
<======================= 't' shows up againcircles_ellipse_ex_ellipse_figure8_ro_ellipse_
(6 rows)
The 't' is back.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong with my query here?
Thanks.
