Hi, All May you have an idea ... Here's the full code-example: http://viper-7.com/M5mldG I have the following SQL command: SELECT max(r.month+r.year*100), r.year, r.month FROM base b LEFT JOIN remote r ON b.id = r.remote_id GROUP BY r.remote_id Now I expect that the first column in the results should look like a combination of the second and third one .. so f.e. this: array(3) { ["max(r.month+r.year*100)"]=> string(6) "201201" ["year"]=> string(4) "2012" ["month"]=> string(2) "01" } But instead I get this result: array(3) { ["max(r.month+r.year*100)"]=> string(6) "201201" ["year"]=> string(4) "2011" ["month"]=> string(2) "12" } I tested it on Windows7 (PHP 5.4.4, SQLiteLib v3.7.7.1), where I get the result as shown above ... and I've also tested it on a fresh installation on LinuxArch (PHP 5.4.4 and SQLiteLib v3.7.13) - where it works as expected! A college of mine has tested it on OSX (PHP 5.3.7 and SQLiteLib v3.7.13) and he gets the same result as I on the windows version. Someone of you have an idea? Maybe had the same problem before ... what could it be? I thought it might a problem of the SQLite-lib but both, the LinuxArch and the OSX system, have the same SQLite version - and both, the windows and the LinuxArch version, have the same PHP-version. Even if the example just uses PDO, I've also tested this using the native SQLite3 lib and I got at least the same result on Windows. Haven't tested the other systems with the native SQLite3 lib.
