Dear list, Version string PostgreSQL 9.4.10 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4), 64-bit
I’m running the query below, and it is limiting results as if “regexp_matches” being in where clause. IMHO, it is wrong: in case there is no match, shall return null or empty array – not remove the result from the set!!! Is this a collateral effect of using regexp_matches in columns? If yes, shall not this information be BOLD RED FLASHING in documentation (or it is already, and some kind sould would point me where)? -- First query (that is limiting results) --------------------------------------------------------------------- select codigoocorrencia, datahoraocorrencia, datahoraimportacao, observacao, regexp_matches(observacao, '\d\d/\d\d/\d\d\d\d') from batchloteocorrencia where codigoocorrencia = '091' and observacao is not null order by datahoraimportacao DESC Total results = 59 --Second query (that is not limiting results, as I did expect)------------------------------------------------------------------- select codigoocorrencia, datahoraocorrencia, datahoraimportacao, observacao from batchloteocorrencia where codigoocorrencia = '091' and observacao is not null order by datahoraimportacao DESC Total results = 3826 Why is that?
