>Description: if i use the following UNION statement, i do not get the same result as if i'm using the two selects separately or with a temporary table. i do not know if this is a bug, but i can not explain this behaviour. maybe someone can help me out... >How-To-Repeat: using the following query does get strange results: (select distinct "a", if(name <> '',name,text1) as name, firstname, tabPerson.classID, tabPerson.personID, 1 as contentID, DATE_FORMAT(tabContent.date,'%d.%m.%Y') as fdate, tabContent.contenttypeID, tabContent.title, tabContent.linkID, tabContent.timestamp from ((tabPerson LEFT JOIN tabPerson_Content ON tabPerson_Content.personID = tabPerson.personID) LEFT JOIN tabContent ON tabContent.contentID = tabPerson_Content.contentID) where (contenttypeID = 4 or contenttypeID = 9 or (contenttypeID >= 29 AND contenttypeID <= 32)) AND (tabContent.classID = 0 OR tabContent.classID = -1 OR tabContent.classID OR ISNULL(tabContent.classID)) GROUP BY tabPerson.personID ORDER BY tabContent.timestamp DESC LIMIT 10)
