Different results from view and from its defintion query [w/ windowing function]
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
Sorry for the lack of a more appropriate title.
The summary of my problem is: i run a query and I get some results; then I create a view using this query, and I run the same query on the view, and get different results. Details follow.
On the original table the analytical data is as follows:
# SELECT id,experiment,insertedon,score FROM data WHERE id=1160;
id | experiment | insertedon | score
--------+----------------------+---------------------+--------
1160 | alpha | 2012-08-19 01:01:12 | 220.69
1160 | alpha | 2012-08-19 01:01:22 | 220.69
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:31 | 220.7
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:42 | 220.7
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:54 | 220.7
My query of interest using windowing functions is:
# SELECT id, experiment, first_value(insertedon) OVER (PARTITION BY score, id) AS first_insertedon, score FROM data WHERE id=1160;
id | experiment | first_insertedon | score |
--------+----------------------+---------------------+--------+----------
1160 | alpha | 2012-08-19 01:01:12 | 220.69 |
1160 | alpha | 2012-08-19 01:01:12 | 220.69 |
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:31 | 220.7 |
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:31 | 220.7 |
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:31 | 220.7 |
So far so good. I then create the view on this last query without the WHERE condition:
# CREATE VIEW clustered_view AS SELECT id, experiment, first_value(insertedon) OVER (PARTITION BY score, id) AS first_insertedon, score FROM data;
I see the view created correctly and its definition is according to the mentioned SQL query. I now select from the view adding the WHERE condition:
# SELECT * from clustered_view WHERE id=1160;
id | experiment | first_insertedon | score |
--------+----------------------+---------------------+--------+
1160 | alpha | 2012-08-19 01:01:12 | 220.69 |
1160 | alpha | 2012-08-19 01:01:12 | 220.69 |
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:54 | 220.7 |
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:54 | 220.7 |
1160 | beta | 2012-08-19 01:01:54 | 220.7 |
As you see, the 'first_insertedon' timestamp for the experiment 'beta' is no longer the first of the timestamps i.e. '2012-08-19 01:01:31' as the original query's results gave correctly, but it's now the last one i.e. '2012-08-19 01:01:54'
Any ideas? Missing the obvious?
TIA,
Thalis K.
