karsten merkle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 1
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
null resulting from left join corrupts select
Long Description
Version:
PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
Error:
equal in where clause fails.
Condition:
having two tables, the second is referencing the first
table test1 :
test1_id
----------
1
2
and table test2:
test2_id | test1_id
----------+----------
1 | 1
I will get the correct result without a left join:
select
*
from
test1, test2
where
test1.test1_id = test2.test2_id;
test1_id | test2_id | test1_id
----------+----------+----------
1 | 1 | 1
but using a left join the where clause won't work:
select
*
from
test1 left join test2 on (test1.test1_id = test2.test1_id)
where
test1.test1_id = test2.test1_id;
test1_id | test2_id | test1_id
----------+----------+----------
1 | 1 | 1
2 | |
Expectation:
the test2.test1_id '' doesn't look like test1.test1_id '2' !
I would have expected the same result as it was given by the statement before.
I would be lucky to support you
(according to my abilities)

Sample Code
CREATE TABLE test1 (
test1_id INTEGER ,
PRIMARY KEY (test1_id)
);
CREATE TABLE test2 (
test2_id INTEGER ,
test1_id INTEGER ,
PRIMARY KEY (test1_id)
);
insert into test1 values (1);
insert into test1 values (2);
insert into test2 values (1,1);
select
*
from
test1, test2
where
test1.test1_id = test2.test2_id;
select
*
from
test1 left join test2 on (test1.test1_id = test2.test1_id)
where
test1.test1_id = test2.test1_id;
