Hi all,

I am moving some data from one table to another in 9.2.4, and keep seeing this 
strange scenario:

insert into newtable select data from oldtable where proc_date >= x and 
proc_date < y;

INSERT 0 78551642

select count(*) from newtable where proc_date >= x and proc_date < y;
   count   
-----------
 4373518938

select count(*) from oldtable where proc_date >= x and proc_date < y;

   count   
-----------
 4373518938


So, my counts from the old and new tables match, but the result returned from 
the insert statement is sometimes a completely different number. (But not 
always.) I've checked my date ranges very carefully to make sure they match. 

Has anyone else ever seen this before? Should I be concerned? 


Thanks,
Natalie
