Hi,
writing a client frontend I started with mysql and migrated to postgres. Now I
found out that there is a difference in the way joined queries are returned:
The query
SELECT
persons.id,persons.lastname,persons.firstname,persons.salutation,persons.title,addresses.address1,addresses.address2,addresses.city,addresses.zip
FROM persons LEFT JOIN addresses_reference ON
persons.id=addresses_reference.refid_persons LEFT JOIN addresses ON
addresses_reference.refid_addresses=addresses.id LIMIT 106 OFFSET 0
The response from postgres in the API:
address1 = "";
address2 = "";
city = "";
firstname = Olaf;
id = 5;
lastname = Taschenbier;
salutation = Frau;
title = "";
zip = "";
The response from mysql:
persons.address1 = "";
persons.address2 = "";
persons.city = "";
persons.firstname = Olaf;
persons.id = 5;
persons.lastname = Taschenbier;
persons.salutation = Frau;
persons.title = "";
persons.zip = "";
This is especially an issue in cases where two tables do have identical
fieldnames. What happens in such cases?
Is there a way or some setting on postgres server to tell postgres to use the
fieldnames exactly as provided in the select?
Thanks
Alex
