Thread: There is a doubt of fatal bug on PostgreSQL 8.0.4.
There is a doubt of fatal bug on PostgreSQL 8.0.4. I found this problem when I developed a system 3 days ago. I examine some version. It has no problem on version 8.0.3 and on 8.1.0. It occured only on 8.0.4 and 2 byte character. Our development environment is Server OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 3 DB : PostgreSQL 8.0.4 both encodes are EUC_JP This is a test order. 1. Create the table for test. CREATE TABLE TEST ( ID VARCHAR(1) ,NAME VARCHAR(40) ,PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) 2. Make some records on the table. INSERT INTO TEST VALUES ('1', '$B$"$"$"(B'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES ('2', '$B$$$$$$(B'); INSERT INTO TEST VALUES ('3', '$B$"(B'); * Please make at least two records of the same number of characters and two byte character. 3. Query this table by name. SELECT * FROM TEST WHERE NAME = '$B$"$"$"(B' The results are '$B$"$"$"(B' and '$B$$$$$$(B'. It should be only '$B$"$"$"(B'. When you also query "WHERE NAME = '$B$&$&$&(B'", it'll reply the same result. It should be no result. Please examine and fix it. I'm waiting for the version 8.0.5. Or I'll change version 8.1.0.

Locale 'C' is the same settings when I used version 8.0.3. I think this is right..Or should I appoint "no locale" when I initialize database? regards, Kenichi Kasahara _________________________________________________________________ $BL5NA$G(B250MB$B$N<u?.%\%C%/%9$,;H$($k!V(BMSN Hotmail$B!W(B http://promotion.msn.co.jp/hotmail/

I get apparently-correct output on my 8.0 installation: CREATE TABLE INSERT 155246 1 INSERT 155247 1 INSERT 155248 1 id | name ----+-------------- 1 | $B$"$"$"(B (1 row) id | name ----+------ (0 rows) > client_encoding is 'SJIS'. Um ... you said EUC_JP before. But I get the same result either way. regards, tom lane
