Hi.

Could you run the following query:

SELECT    IF(call_end - call_start > 5, id, NULL) AS long,
          IF(call_end - call_start <= 5, id, NULL) AS short,
          COUNT(*)
FROM      t_calllog_calls
GROUP BY  long, short

Given that I have not made any mistake, that should list all rows
which do not "behave" as expected for whatever reason. From your
description, you expect there to be two rows:

        long    short
          0     non-0
        non-0     0

But you should get some additional row(s), which account for the
difference you observe. Once you know in which way the condition fails
(e.g. both comparisons resulting in NULL), you can search for these
rows:

SELECT    IF(call_end - call_start > 5, id, NULL) AS long,
          IF(call_end - call_start <= 5, id, NULL) AS short,
          *
FROM      t_calllog_calls
HAVING    ISNULL(short) AND ISNULL(long)

(of course you may have to change this accordingly).


One of may best bets would be that call_end and call_start are of some
data type for which your comparison results in NULL due to some
illegal value or because the comparison is not defined or whatever.

Please report any findings you get.

Regards,

        Benjamin.
