Hello,
I do not understand why the following ORDER BY statment does not work
as I would expect:
1) I defined a simple table with only one column, containing urls:
mon=> \d url
Table "public.url"
Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+------+-----------
url | text | not null
Indexes:
"url_pkey" primary key, btree (url)
2) I populated it, some urls starting with https, others with http
3) When I want to sort them, I get this "strange" ordering:
mon=> SELECT * FROM url ORDER BY url asc ;
url

Should'nt I get these values in the following order ?
