Thread: Two PostgreSQL instances returning different output for same query
I’m a bit stumped on this one. For one of my application teams both their DEV instance and UAT instance are running pg version12.3 in AWS RDS, and I’ve used the same psql version 13.4. The query is a simple: SELECT to_jsonb(geom) FROM addresses LIMIT 1; On both databases the geom field is of data type geometry from postgis, but the two dbs are running different versions ofPostgis. DEV is 3.0.2 while UAT is 2.5.2, but I don’t think this is causing the issue. Running the query on the DEV instance produces to_jsonb ———————————- {“type”: “Point”, “coordinates”: [-106.54569, 31.82908]} While running it on the UAT instance produces to_jsonb ————————————— “0101000020E610009000000000000000“ If I remove the to_jsonb() so the query becomes SELECT geom FROM addresses; both output the same very long string that theUAT instance produces for the to_jsonb() output. So UAT does not seem to be processing the to_jsonb. I’m thinking that there might be a GUC controlling the output format, but I can’t seem to find any references for one. Any ideas?

What is the point of LIMIT 1?

Are you sure that they are the same record? (I always use ORDER BY with "LIMIT 1" when comparing records.)

DEV is 3.0.2 while UAT is 2.5.2, but I don’t think this is causing the issue. I think you're being far too hasty to reject a highly probable explanation. Consult the Postgis release notes to see if they changed anything about casting-to-JSON between those two releases. A quick look at to_jsonb's innards shows that for a non-core input type, it will use the type's cast to JSON if there is one, while if there is not, it will just run the type's output function and call the result a JSON string. This seems to fit quite well with the results you show. regards, tom lane

DEV is 3.0.2 while UAT is 2.5.2, but I don’t think this is causing the issue. Changelog for postgis 3.0.0 shows: 3687, Casts json(geometry) and jsonb(geometry) for implicit GeoJSON generation (Paul Ramsey) looks to be very related. Best regards, depesz
