Hi !
I am quite confused of the results on a SELECT max...
My environment:
Conectiva Linux 10, PostgreSQL 7.4.6 (compiled from the sources)
My problem is the "select max(id) FROM test" the result is 20 but the
right is 1020. Is this a BUG or I am crazy ??
Cheers,
Rodrigo Carvalhaes
The SQL...
teste=# CREATE TABLE test ( id char(15), name char(80) );
CREATE TABLE
teste=# \d test Table "public.test"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+---------------+-----------
id | character(15) |
name | character(80) |
teste=# INSERT INTO test VALUES ( '10', 'luidgi');
INSERT 15303727 1
teste=# INSERT INTO test VALUES ( '20', 'luis');
INSERT 15303728 1
teste=# INSERT INTO test VALUES ( '1010', 'ruan');
INSERT 15303729 1
teste=# INSERT INTO test VALUES ( '1020', 'lion');
INSERT 15303730 1
teste=# SELECT * FROM test; id | name
-----------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 | luidgi
20 | luis
1010 | ruan
