Christoph Lorenz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description select avg() and sum() returns false value Long Description I don't know, if it's my fault, but when I sum up several thousands of positive entries in a column (the column is an int2 field), I get a negative(!) value. Sample Code CREATE TABLE recording ( [...] time int2 DEFAULT NULL, [...] ); select time from recording returns only positive values, like time ------ 277 159 192 183 184 178 180 207 243 194 203 182 277 159 192 183 184 178 180 207 243 194 203 182 229 229 and when I sum it up, the following happens (remember, there are really no negative values in my database): mmusic2=# select sum(time) from recording; sum -------- -12491 (1 row) No file was uploaded with this report ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
