Hi!
below are some commands to
replicate a strange sorting order.
I do not see why id:s 3-6 are in the middle of the result set.
What am I missing?
begin;
create table T_SORT (
ID bigint default 1 not null , -- Primary Key
NAME varchar(100) default ' ' not null
);
alter table T_SORT add constraint T_SORTP1 primary key (
ID
);
insert into T_SORT values ( 1,'FINISH_110_150_1');
insert into T_SORT values ( 2,'FINISH_110_200_1');
insert into T_SORT values ( 3,'FINISH_1.10_20.0_3');
insert into T_SORT values ( 4,'FINISH_1.10_20.0_4');
insert into T_SORT values ( 5,'FINISH_1.10_30.0_3');
insert into T_SORT values ( 6,'FINISH_1.10_30.0_4');
insert into T_SORT values ( 7,'FINISH_120_150_1');
insert into T_SORT values ( 8,'FINISH_120_200_1');
select * from T_SORT order by NAME ;
rollback;
id | name
----+--------------------
1 | FINISH_110_150_1
2 | FINISH_110_200_1
3 | FINISH_1.10_20.0_3
4 | FINISH_1.10_20.0_4
5 | FINISH_1.10_30.0_3
6 | FINISH_1.10_30.0_4
7 | FINISH_120_150_1
8 | FINISH_120_200_1
(8 rows)
why is FINISH_1.10_20.0_3 between
FINISH_110_200_1 and
FINISH_120_150_1
?
That is why is '.' between 1 and 2 as in 110/120 ?
pg_admin III reports the database is created like
CREATE DATABASE bnl
WITH OWNER = bnl
ENCODING = 'UTF8'
TABLESPACE = pg_default
LC_COLLATE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
LC_CTYPE = 'en_US.UTF-8'
CONNECTION LIMIT = -1;
bnl=> select version();
version
