I've already posted this bug, but nobody replied yet ... I was not
subscribed,
but now I am. If it is not significant, I'm sorry to overload this
mailing list... Now to the problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aplying the NOT operator with << INET operator results always in false.
See the example below:
This is the contents of table a:
accounting=> SELECT * FROM a;
ip
--------
10.1.1.1
10.1.1.2
10.2.1.2
10.2.1.1
(4 rows)
Now, let's select only those hosts from subnet '10.1/16': (works fine)
accounting=> SELECT * FROM a WHERE ip<<'10.1/16';
ip
--------
10.1.1.1
10.1.1.2
(2 rows)
And now, I only apply NOT to prewious statement ....
accounting=> SELECT * FROM a WHERE NOT ip<<'10.1/16';
ip
--
(0 rows)
But that is not true! I tryed this also with other versions of postgress
on other machines and the result was always the same. But this makes all
about INET operators quite unusable, when I am not able to exclude some
address space (I can only include them). Or is there another way to do
It?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE a (ip inet);
INSERT INTO a VALUES ('10.1.1.1');
INSERT INTO a VALUES ('10.1.1.2');
INSERT INTO a VALUES ('10.2.1.2');
INSERT INTO a VALUES ('10.2.1.1');
SELECT * FROM a;
SELECT * FROM a WHERE ip<<'10.1/16';
SELECT * FROM a WHERE NOT ip<<'10.1/16';
DROP TABLE a;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for any idea which could help to solve this problem ...
