Hi,
first of all let me tell all of you that PostgreSQL is among the best
in OpenSource!
Unfortunaly there's a (hopefully easy to fix) bug in release 7.2 and
7.2.1 that was not there in 7.1.3 and caused me to switch back today.
Here's the table I'm using (unfortunately I already switched back to
7.1.3 and therefore can't verify whether or not this occurs with an
easier setup):
i++=# \d uri
Table "uri"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------------+--------------------------+-----------
template_id | integer |
content_id | integer | not null
freigegeben | timestamp with time zone |
gueltig_von | timestamp with time zone |
gueltig_bis | timestamp with time zone |
queue_status | integer |
site_id | integer |
uri | text |
Primary key: uri_pkey
Triggers: RI_ConstraintTrigger_17236,
RI_ConstraintTrigger_17242,
RI_ConstraintTrigger_17255,
RI_ConstraintTrigger_17257
And here we add sam sample data:
i++=# INSERT INTO uri VALUES (3,3,NULL);
INSERT 17604 1
Which is in the database:
i++=# select * from uri;
template_id | content_id | freigegeben |
gueltig_von | gueltig_bis | queue_status | site_id | uri
-------------+------------+-------------------------------+-------------------------------+-------------+--------------+---------+-------------
3 | 3 | |
| | | |
(1 rows)
However - if you want to access a <timestamp>=NULL value, it is not found :-((
i++=# select * from uri where freigegeben=NULL;
template_id | content_id | freigegeben | gueltig_von | gueltig_bis |
queue_status | site_id | uri
-------------+------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+--------------+---------+-----
(0 rows)
Hope to hear from you in a while - please reply directly to
mailto:ciechowski@cis-computer.com, since I'm not on this list.
