Hi !

I am quite confused of the results on a SELECT max...

My environment: Conectiva Linux 10, PostgreSQL 7.4.6 (compiled from
the sources)

My problem is the "select max(id) FROM test" the result is 20 but the
 right is 1020. Is this a BUG or I am crazy ??

Crazy. And posting to the wrong list - try the general/sql lists for this sort of thing.


teste=# CREATE TABLE test ( id char(15), name char(80) ); CREATE

You've defined "id" as char - so it's sorting alphabetically, not numerically, so 1111 < 2


Just defined "id" as a numeric type.
