Sorry for this follow-up, but I'm really at a loss as to what to check next…
What should I do if after I insert a new "Appl" row, the query we've worked on in this thread is *not* finding it, i.e. it's not being returned in the result set? I'm really surprised and thinking I must be missing something really basic? I've deleted the lastname, firstname indexes and re-created them, but the newly created row is still *not* being returned! Here's the sql insert from the SA log: 2013-10-03 12:26:37,638 INFO [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine][Dummy-3] BEGIN (implicit) 2013-10-03 12:26:37,643 INFO [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine][Dummy-3] INSERT INTO appl (refid, appldate, lastname, firstname, cityid, cityid2) VALUES (nextval('appl_refid_seq'), %(appldate)s, %(lastname)s, %(firstname)s, %(cityid)s, %(cityid2)s) RETURNING appl.id 2013-10-03 12:26:37,643 INFO [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine][Dummy-3] {'cityid2': None, 'cityid': None, 'firstname': u'test3', 'lastname': u'test3', 'appldate': u'10/3/2013'} 2013-10-03 12:26:37,644 DEBUG [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine][Dummy-3] Col ('id',) 2013-10-03 12:26:37,644 DEBUG [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine][Dummy-3] Row (14574,) 2013-10-03 12:26:37,645 INFO [sqlalchemy.engine.base.Engine][Dummy-3] COMMIT What's also really odd, is if I manually run the sql in psql, it works and returns the new row: WITH distinct_query AS ( SELECT DISTINCT ON (refid) id, refid, lastname, firstname, appldate FROM appl WHERE lastname ILIKE 'test%' GROUP BY refid, id, lastname, firstname, appldate ORDER BY refid, appldate DESC ) SELECT * from distinct_query ORDER BY lastname, firstname; Another odd thing is in my application, I have another search feature, and it's using an SA query that's not using the cte/distinct query below, and it works! Sorry to have to ask this, but I'm stuck and need to get this working. Thanks again for all the help!
