I am also wondering about careless whitespace. postgres=# select 9/1e1; ?column? ------------------------ 0.90000000000000000000 (1 row) postgres=# select 9/1 e1; e1 ---- 9 (1 row) In any case, I tried copying-and-pasting parts of the originally mentioned query, and I saw nothing that looked like misbehavior. Please show an exact, self-contained test case if you want us to believe there's a bug here. regards, tom lane
