Thread: JDBC Postgres problem

JDBC Postgres problem

From

We are having a very strange issue where for certain records, queries sent via JDBC return no results when the identical query via command line or pgadmin return non-null (expected) results. Example below. We are running 8.3.9.

Note the 0 rows returned via JDBC. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this before?

Can you post a compilable, self-contained Java program and a database
dump that demonstrates this problem?

You might find that, in the course of trying to simplify your current
code down to something you can publish, you discover what the issue is.
If you still have the issue with a small, simplified example then please
post it so it can be investigated.

We found our problem. It turned out to be a config file that was
pointing to a stale copy of the db.

Thanks very much for following up to the list with the resolution of
your issue.

I'm glad you found out what was going on.
