Hi folks,
I've got a glossary table that I'm trying to render to HTML. However, I've
got a problem when using order by and limit. Below is an example of a psql
session showing my problem. Anyone got any reasons why the last select misses
'Driver'?
nymr=# select glterm from glossary where glterm like 'D%' order by glterm;
glterm
----------------
Dampers
Dart
Detonators
Disposal
Dome
Draw Bar
Driver
Driving Wheels
Duty Fitter
(9 rows)
nymr=# select glterm from glossary where glterm > 'Driving Wheels' limit 1;
glterm
-------------
Duty Fitter
(1 row)
nymr=# select glterm from glossary where glterm > 'Draw Bar' limit 1;
glterm
----------------
Driving Wheels
(1 row)
nymr=# \d glossary
Table "glossary"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
glid | integer | not null default
nextval('glossary_glid_seq'::text)
glterm | character varying(30) | not null
gldesc | text |
Indices: glossary_pkey,
glossary_term_index
nymr=#
