Just re-ran the query I provided on the table
mytest with inserted record you provided above and it worked fine. Query executed using psql.
You are correct, no problem using psql, it must have been a pgAdmin III problem.
But I have no clue what you mean by: 'att' ? 'attrib' = true; SELECT 'att' ? 'attrib' doesn't even execute and the existence operator only considers exact matches.
I have now leaned what the ? operator does. So, no problem here.
P.S. List convention is to either inline or bottom-post.
I hope this is correct.
Again, thanks so much, have a great day.
Mike
