Hi,
I have a problem with a query wich simple aggregate values. In the sample below I have two values, 1.3 and 1.4. Rounding their average with one decimals, should give 1.4. The first query with - cast( tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1 AS numeric) AS value - give the expected result, while the second one with - tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1 AS value - give 1.3. Which could be the reason ?? -- data fulldate timestamp; tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1- reals 2009-03-29 00:00:00; 1.3 2009-03-29 00:30:00; 1.4 --Good query SELECT date_trunc('hour', data) AS data, round(cast(avg(value) AS numeric), 1 ) AS value FROM ( SELECT _master_30.fulldate AS data, cast( tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1 AS numeric) AS value --tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1 AS value FROM _master_30 LEFT JOIN tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon ON _master_30.fulldate = tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.fulldate WHERE _master_30.fulldate between '2009-03-29 00:00:00' AND '2009-03-29 00:59:59' ORDER BY data ) foo GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1; -- value = 1.4 OK --wrong query SELECT date_trunc('hour', data) AS data, round(cast(avg(value) AS numeric), 1 ) AS value FROM ( SELECT _master_30.fulldate AS data, --cast( tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1 AS numeric) AS value tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.id_1 AS value FROM _master_30 LEFT JOIN tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon ON _master_30.fulldate = tables_seb.tbl_arvier_chamencon.fulldate WHERE _master_30.fulldate between '2009-03-29 00:00:00' AND '2009-03-29 00:59:59' ORDER BY data ) foo GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 -- value = 1.3 NOT OK -- test select round(cast( (1.3 + 1.4)::real / 2 as numeric), 1); -- value = 1.4 OK Using PostgreSQL 8.3.7 on Windows Server 2008 Thank in advance, Paolo Saudin
