Hi Everybody,
I have a table called gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw,
which is like:
canon=# \d gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw
Table "gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw"
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------------+---------+-----------
name | text |
response | text |
n | integer |
source | text |
test | text |
ref | text |
value | real |
pvalue.term | real |
stars.term | text |
gtclass.test | text |
fclass.test | text |
gtclass.ref | text |
fclass.ref | text |
markerid | integer |
maf | real |
chromosome | text |
physicalposition | integer |
id | text |
ctrast | text |
I am intereseted in the column maf (which is real):
canon=# select maf from gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw
canon-# order by maf asc;
maf
-------------
0.000659631
0.000659631
0.000659631
0.000659631
.
(trunacated for the interest of breivity)
.
Another way to look at this column is:
canon=# select maf from gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw
canon-# order by maf desc;
maf
-------------
.
(trunacated for the interest of breivity)
.
These rows shown are blanks, as far as I can tell.
But...
canon=# select count(maf) from gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw;
count
-------
67284
(1 row)
canon=# select count(maf) from gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw
canon-# where maf ISNULL;
count
-------
0
(1 row)
canon=#
canon=# select count(maf) from gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw
canon-# where maf NOTNULL;
count
-------
67284
(1 row)
My confusion is that if they are real and not null,
what are they? How would I construct a query to do
something like:
select count(maf)
from gallo.sds_seq_reg_shw
where maf ISBLANK;
Thank you in advance.

Maybe something like
select ']' || maf::text || '[' -- just to see where the value
start/stops
or
select length(maf::text)
but I suspect you're getting NAN or something unprintable in your
environment?
