complex queries

Hi Sean and group members,

with all your help i could upload a part of my dataset
successfully into my database.

I am queying my database. currently I am querying two
tables for data.

There are two tables processed_data and
sequence_annotation.


My first query (which is successful):

db=> select proc_exprs, proc_pval from processed_data,
sequence_annotation
where processed_data.seq_anno_id =
sequence_annotation.seq_anno_id
and sequence_annotation.seq_gene_symbol = 'FN1';
 proc_exprs | proc_pval
------------+-----------
    6.72867 |  0.141216
    5.01667 |  0.212055
    4.94133 |  0.216501
   0.214667 |  0.624944
  0.0846667 |  0.525513
    7.19867 |  0.128558
    11.7807 |  0.053066
    11.5487 | 0.0545418
    7.57867 | 0.0984488
       0.33 |  0.678788
  0.0546667 |  0.483358
    11.7227 | 0.0534283
      4.806 |  0.221026
    2.86333 |  0.434024
    3.60933 |  0.324803
       0.43 |  0.742388
      0.018 |  0.427739
      3.222 |  0.375615
(18 rows)


Query 2: A little complicated one (successful):

db=> select proc_exprs, proc_pval, seq_anno_id from
processed_data
 where proc_pval < 0.004;
 proc_exprs | proc_pval  | seq_anno_id
------------+------------+-------------
    107.803 | 0.00382485 |       50237
    106.607 | 0.00387695 |       51903
    158.191 | 0.00240939 |       69829
    170.103 | 0.00220903 |       70008
    137.591 | 0.00284852 |       70009
    217.086 | 0.00165253 |       70214
    186.021 | 0.00198545 |       70223
    213.575 | 0.00168479 |       70558
    121.545 | 0.00330776 |       71717
    221.715 | 0.00161171 |       71757
    248.226 |  0.0014101 |       75187
    111.929 | 0.00365456 |       80492
      138.5 |  0.0022871 |       70008
    90.9887 | 0.00380519 |       70009

Query 3: A complicated one( unsuccessful):

bob=> select proc_exprs, proc_pval, seq_gene_symbol
from processed_data, sequence_annotation
where proc_pval < 0.05 AND
processed_data.seq_anno_id =
sequence_annotation.seq_gene_symbol;


 proc_exprs | proc_pval | seq_gene_symbol
------------+-----------+-----------------
(0 rows)


seq_gene_symbol is in sequence_annotation table and
its primary key is value of seq_anno_id.


Why I am getting 0 row. Whats wrong with my query.

Could you help me please.

Thank you.

K
