Subject: compare table names
Date: Mon, 09 Jan 2012 11:12:18 -0500
Message-ID: <1326125538.1983.12.camel@tony1.localdomain> (raw)

I have these 3 tables:

     tablename      
--------------------
 tmp_staging0109
 tmp_staging1229
 tmp_staging0108


I'd like this query:

select tablename from pg_tables where tablename like 'tmp_staging%' and tablename < 'tmp_staging1230';

To return this result:

     tablename      
--------------------
 tmp_staging1229

However, I'm receiving:

     tablename      
--------------------
 tmp_staging0109
 tmp_staging1229
 tmp_staging0108

How can I write this correctly?

Thanks.
Tony
