The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 4780
Logged by: Ted Holzman
Email address: tholz...@fhcrc.org
PostgreSQL version: 8.3.7
Operating system: SuSE Linux 10.3
Description: Aggregate functions are unaware of LIMIT clauses in
SELECTs
Details:
Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or an arcane feature, but AGGREGATE functions
don't appear to respond to LIMIT clauses. For example:
The untouched results of a query.
experiments=# select generate_series from generate_series(1,10);
generate_series
-----------------
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
(10 rows)
The LIMITed results of a query.
experiments=# select generate_series from generate_series(1,10) limit 3;
generate_series
-----------------
1
2
3
(3 rows)
The SUM (aggregated) results of a limited query:
experiments=# select sum(genera
te_series) from generate_series(1,10) limit 3;
sum
-----
55
(1 row)
I was expecting the sum to be 6.
==Ted
