This is a feature of relational databases, you should explicitly specify ordering if you want persistent order. btw, why do you bothering ?

Hello, I am using Slackware Linux 10, Postgresql 8.0.1. My computer had a incorrectly power down (last week) and I have executed the vacuum command: VACCUM FULL ANALYZE VERBOSE; to recicle and verify my database. Before the power-down, all records had inserted into a table have displayed at LAST record. Like: SELECT * from tb1; f1 | f2 ------|-------- rec1 | vl1
INSERT into tb1 values ('rec2','vl2'); SELECT * from tb1; f1 | f2 ------|-------- rec1 | vl1 rec2 | vl2
But After the power-down and vacuum, the new records inserted have appeared in random location (FIRST, between other records, etc...). Ie:
INSERT into tb1 values ('rec3','vl3'); SELECT * from tb1; f1 | f2 ------|-------- rec1 | vl1 rec3 | vl3 <<===== rec2 | vl2
Why it? I can't undestand why the new record location was change. Shouldn't it apper at the LAST record??? What need I do?? Thank you. -------- Lucas Vendramin Brazil
