Hi,
I noticed the following strange problem when the expression to WHERE
contains clauses that refer to the same column. Here are three queries
and their output:
select count(*) from table1
where ((timestamp >13448180261410868) and (timestamp <= 13448182164507680));
output: 100
select count(*) from table1
where (timestamp<=13448180261410868);
output: 46
select count(*) from table1;
output: 100
This cannot be (unless I am missing something). The first query says
that between times A and B there are 100 entries. The second query says
that before time A there are 46 entries. The last query says that in
total there are 100 entries. My logic says that if the first and second
queries return the true answer, the total number of entries should be
100 + 46 = 146.
I counted things manually and realized that query 1 is the culprit. It
is ignoring the first part of the statement and only evaluating the
second part (timestamp <= 13448182164507680)
Anyone has had similar problems?
Thanks
Eno
