Hi! I created a table in postgres with varchar values in it, and I noticed that postgres lexicographical ordering is weird in the sense that it ignores whitespaces. please look at the result I got:
select * from tablename order by columnname; cloumnname ------------------------------------- one 1 one 1 one 12 one 2 one 30 (5 rows) This means that 'one<space>1' and 'one<space><space>1' are the same lexicographically. Is this correct? thanks paraM ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
