Hi All,
Small problem with 8.2.1, I have a temp table of basic stock details:
CREATE TEMP TABLE tmpstk
(
code varchar(6),
description varchar(38),
grp varchar(4),
brand text,
style text,
supplier varchar(6),
supplier_code text,
wholesale numeric(10,2),
retail numeric(10,2),
ean varchar(13)
)
WITHOUT OIDS;
This table is populated using a COPY query works OK. If I try the
following query:
SELECT * FROM tmpstk
I get what I expect, almost 8000 rows including rows similar to the
following:
"401514","EQUINADE_SHOWSILK_SHAMPOO_5L","3209","EQUINADE","SHAMPOO","EQUEST"
,"401514","0.00","0.00","0.00","0.00","10.00","9329028056594"
"401600","A/DRESS_SHAMPOO_TEA_TREE_OIL_500ML","3208","AUSTRALIAN_DRESSAGE","
SHAMPOO","EQUEST","401600","0.00","0.00","0.00","0.00","10.00",""
The second row (401600) is what Im interested in for this particular
problem. The problem is when I try and add a WHERE clause:
SELECT * FROM tmpstk WHERE ean = '';
SELECT * FROM tmpstk WHERE TRIM(ean) = '';
SELECT * FROM tmpstk WHERE ean = NULL;
None of the above queries return any rows.
What am I doing wrong? It should return the 401600 row above, along with
several hundred other rows. I have attached the bash script that actually
does this processing.
Help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
