Greetings.
I'm working with a product provided by a third part that interfaces to
data housed in a database of your choice. Previously, my choice was
MySQL - apparently it handled certain queries too slowly, so I'm giving
PostgreSQL a shot. Here's the query:
SELECT a.Number, a.Code, a.Text
FROM b, a
WHERE (b.Id = a.Id) AND (VersionId = 'key1') AND (Category = 'key2') AND (b.d_Id = 'key3')
ORDER BY a.Number;
(my apologies: I had to 'mangle' the table/column names because of NDA)
So my question is this: would this query operate differently in MySQL
than in PostgreSQL? The reason I ask is that this query in MySQL
returns results, yet in PostgreSQL it does not. I read a post about
PostgreSQL not supporting outer joins, but I don't have enough
experience with SQL to determine if this is such a query or not. Please
advise.
Any help will be (as always) sincerely appreciated.
