Hello everyone,
I am not sure if this is the appropriate mailing lists. But lets try
anyway.
It seems that the sorting order on dates is incorrect under certain
circumstances:
The query :
select tdat
from quick
where empfang like 'HUK-COBURG VERS.-GRUPPE' and
zweck like 'BEITRAG F. 300/338958-M PFLEGEPFLICHTVERSICHERUNG'
and date_part ('year',tdat::datetime)=1997
order by tdat;
produces:
tdat
----------
1997-01-04
1997-01-08
1997-01-09
1997-01-10
1997-01-12
1997-02-01
1997-02-05
1997-02-06
1997-02-07
1997-03-02
1997-03-03
1997-03-11
(12 rows)
while this gives the correct sort order:
select tdat
from quick
order by tdat;
1997-11-26
1997-11-27
1997-11-27
1997-11-27
1997-11-28
1997-11-28
1997-11-28
1997-12-03
1997-12-05
1997-12-05 (just a section)
any idea of what may be going on?
set DateStyle to 'German'; (does not have an effect on the problem)
