Hello: My first post; a Postgres newbie ...
I am teaching myself PostgresQL using a trial database, and I am having trouble with underscores:
IN the following example,
development=# SELECT created_at, username FROM tweets; created_at | username
-----------------------------------+-------------------created_at | username“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 08:43:09 +0000″ | “_DreamLead”“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 07:31:06 +0000″ | “GunnarSvalander”“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 07:30:24 +0000″ | “GEsoftware”“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 06:58:22 +0000″ | “adrianburch”“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 05:29:41 +0000″ | “AndyRyder5″“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 05:24:17 +0000″ | “AndyRyder5″“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:49:19 +0000″ | “Brett_Englebert”“Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:31:52 +0000″ | “Brett_Englebert”“Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:15:05 +0000″ | “NimbusData”“Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:15:37 +0000″ | “SSWUGorg”
(11 rows)
... why doesn't his work? :
development=# SELECT created_at, username FROM tweets WHERE username='_DreamLead';created_at | username
------------+----------
(0 rows)
try ....
SELECT created_at, username FROM tweets WHERE username='“_DreamLead”';
it appears you've stored those cute-quotes “ ” in the field.
