i'm in need of some psql advise, believe its rather a trivial issue, but confusing for me... (and hope this is the correct list for this?) facing following issue: got 2 tables like: CREATE TABLE td_fetch_by_rrd_id ( f_rrd_id numeric NOT NULL, f_timestamp numeric NOT NULL, f_ds numeric, f_us numeric, CONSTRAINT td_fetch_by_rrd_id_pkey PRIMARY KEY (f_rrd_id, f_timestamp) ) and: CREATE TABLE td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id ( f_rrd_id numeric NOT NULL, f_timestamp numeric NOT NULL, f_ds numeric, f_us numeric, CONSTRAINT td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id_pkey PRIMARY KEY (f_rrd_id, f_timestamp) ) only difference is: first table stores data per 'f_rrd_id' evey 5min, and the second table every single minute. I want to run a query that would return for the same 'f_rrd_id' all values from both tables sorted by f_timestamp, of course a set would only have values from the 5m table if the timestamp was present there too (every 5th set only) being a sql-lamer, i used some query builder help to build my query (which served me quite well in the past for all my 'complicated' sqls), and was suggested for f_rrd_id=444 to use something as: SELECT td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id.f_timestamp, td_fetch_by_rrd_id.f_ds, td_fetch_by_rrd_id.f_ds, td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id.f_ds, td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id.f_us FROM td_fetch_by_rrd_id RIGHT JOIN td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id ON td_fetch_by_rrd_id.f_timestamp=td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id.f_timestamp WHERE td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id.f_rrd_id=444 ORDER BY td_fetch1m_by_rrd_id.f_timestamp; and this works quite fine and as expected in the source env (some gui-sqler). but when i take this into psql, i get totally messed up results, the values just dont make any sense... assume it is a simple 'shoot the monkey messing with sql' type of an issue, and was hoping real sqlers could help out quickly? :) an example set in the 1m table would look like: 444;20090408135500;15049;3898 444;20090408135600;11760;1023 444;20090408135700;21956;13913 444;20090408135800;14313;3427 444;20090408135900;12876;1007 444;20090408140000;13307;2101 444;20090408140100;25905;5611 and the other table would only have every 5th ts matching, with minor diffs in the f_us/f_ds columns, e.g. like: 444;20090408135500;15054;3958 444;20090408140000;13322;2131 many tia! -k -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
