Hi,
I have a strange case where a SELECT for a primary key returns 0 rows on one slave, while it returns the correct 1 row
onanother slave and on the master. It does however return that row on all slaves when queried with LIKE and trailing or
leadingwildcard.
psql version is 9.3.5, because that's what comes with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Master runs Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Slave 1 runs also Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Slave 2 runs Mac OS X 10.7, pgsql installed via homebrew
Both slaves are configured with streaming replication, and I've been using that setup for years, starting with psql
9.1,with no problems so far. Suspecting some weird problem, I already re-initialized slave 2 with a fresh backup and
startedreplication from the beginning, so the database is fresh from a master copy, and is verified to be current.

So here's the query.
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE email = 'foo@example.com';
This returns 1 row on master and slave 1, but 0 on slave 2, while this query:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE email LIKE 'foo@example.com%';
or this one
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE email LIKE '%foo@example.com';
returns the correct 1 row on all three systems. Note that this works with the wildcard on either end, or also somewhere
inthe middle, doesn't matter. Note: "email" is the primary key on this table.
This behaviour is the same with any address to be queried, and is also the same on a similar second table. This does
NOToccur on any other table, which all have integer primary keys. There is also no problem when I select for other
attributeson these tables.
Does anyone have a hint?
Thanks
Maik
