split Splits the string EXPR into a list of strings and returns that list. By default, empty leading fields are preserved, and empty trailing ones are deleted. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ In the case at hand, the SQL query returns something like "|physical|||t|10338|||0/302B7E8" with normal timing, but with enough delay in there, you get "|physical|||t|11542|||" which triggers split's default behavior of ignoring the trailing empty fields. It looks like the way to get split to not do that is to pass it a "limit" of -1. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
