Hi,

We are still on the process to migrate our applications from proprietary RDBMS to PostgreSQL.

Here is a simple query executed on various systems (real query is different but this one does not need any data) :

Connected to:

Oracle Database 19c Standard Edition 2 Release 19.0.0.0.0 - Production

Version 19.3.0.0.0

 

SQL> select count(*) from (select 1 from dual where 0=1 group by grouping sets(())) tmp;

 

  COUNT(*)

----------

         0

 

 

select @@version;

GO

select count(*) from (select 1 from dual where 0=1 group by grouping sets(())) tmp;

count

-------

     1

(1 ligne)





0 or 1, which behaviour conforms to the SQL standard ? We have a workaround and it's just informational.


Regards,


Phil
