Hi, I keep on investigating on the "death postgres" subject but open a new thread as I don't know if it's related to my pb.
I have 2 different clusters, on 2 different machines, one is prod, the second test. Same data volumes. On prod if I do select col_a, count(col_a) from table_a group by col_a order by col_a desc, I get the numbers of NULL on top. To get the number of NULL on top on the test db, I have to select col_a, count(col_a) from table_a group by col_a order by col_a asc. so, it looks like there is something different within the b-tree operator class of varchar (?!?) between those 2 clusters. What can I check to to explain this difference as, to my understanding, it's not a postgresql.conf parameter. thanks Marc MILLAS Senior Architect +33607850334 www.mokadb.com
