Using offset 15 there is totally bogus since the count aggregate is going to return just 1 row. Limit 15 is harmless but unnecessary and misleading The only way you're going to get the result is with offset 0 or offset omitted. Something like limit 15 offset 15 sounds like a paginator feature trying to show page 2 of pages having 15 rows each. > Oddly enough SELECT count(*) FROM batches LIMIT 15 returns the full > count of the table. Presumably the count has to be done on a subquery I do not find this odd :-) HTH > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general > -- Jerry Sievers Postgres DBA/Development Consulting e: postgres.consulting@xxxxxxxxxxx p: 305.321.1144 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
