Re: Wired behaviour from SELECT

Instead of nickname you probably want tontet where password=`Arbol'  ..  or am.i.missong something ?.

The below sql statement produces the right output

SELECT nickname, password FROM password WHERE id='0938105618107N1';
  nickname   | password

However, if this sql statement produces the wrong output
SELECT nickname, password FROM password WHERE nickname='Arbol';
 nickname | password
----------+----------
(0 rows)

What am I doing wrong?

Naming a column in your table the same name as the table is problematic generally.  As for the query, if they are both intended to return the same row the value Arbol is in the password column, not the nickname column.  You seem to have reversed the data for the two columns.
