Dear all: I am fairly knowledgeable about PostgreSQL but this behaviour is stumping me. Any help would be wonderful. If you think it is a bug, let me now and I'll file one. (select values in DB (date stamps) between Jan 1, 2000 and Jan 1, 2005, no results) db_name=# SELECT * from person_detail WHERE field='2' AND value>'946702800' AND value<'1104555600'; id | person | field | value ----+--------+-------+------- (0 rows) (select values in DB (date stamps) between Jan 1, 2003 and Jan 1, 2005, 4 results (!)) db_name=# SELECT * from person_detail WHERE field='2' AND value>'1041397200' AND value<'1104555600'; id | person | field | value ------+--------+-------+------------ 1187 | 454 | 2 | 1051156800 1188 | 460 | 2 | 1053316800 1219 | 472 | 2 | 1057723200 1181 | 441 | 2 | 1042520400 (4 rows) The first select should have those 4 results plus any more. We tried putting quotes (") around the word 'value' to see if that made a difference, and no it didn't. We tried reversing the two clauses and that made no difference. Here's another funny one. Not the one that doesn't belong. db_name=# SELECT * from person_detail WHERE field='2' AND value>='1000000001' AND value<='1104555600'; id | person | field | value ------+--------+-------+------------ 3 | 218 | 2 | 1017464400 253 | 295 | 2 | 1002340800 514 | 323 | 2 | 100155600 1126 | 405 | 2 | 1006750800 1179 | 439 | 2 | 1035172800 1187 | 454 | 2 | 1051156800 1188 | 460 | 2 | 1053316800 1219 | 472 | 2 | 1057723200 1181 | 441 | 2 | 1042520400 1152 | 434 | 2 | 1032321600 1129 | 410 | 2 | 1024027200 (11 rows) Anyone see what's going on here?
