Hi,
Should the follwing query match a record with just "Jan" in the column
(there are no nulls in the column and there are 2 records with only
"Jan" in it) ?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers
WHERE lower(lastName) < lower('Jan%')
If so, and if the result of the previous question is "144660", should
the next query display "Jan"?
SELECT lastname FROM prototype.customers
ORDER BY lower(lastname)
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 144600
Why do the following queries return the same count (may be related to
the first question)
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers
WHERE lower(lastName) < lower('Jan%')
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers
WHERE lower(lastName) <= lower('Jan%')
TIA
