I'm learning to use Postgresql's bitwise operator's as I'm interested
in building super fast search's based on user selections in web forms.
So far so good but I have just lost it a little so I thought I'd post.
Please growl at me if I'm asking on the wrong list :-)
I understand this:
SELECT 111 & 11 = 11
but not this
SELECT 1111 & 111 = 71
I was expecting the second example to be
SELECT 1111 & 111 = 111 </pre></blockquote><pre wrap="">
In the above examples the numbers are decimal values.
Maybe you wanted to do something like the following:
area=> select b'1111' & b'0111';?column?
----------0111
(1 row)
