Hello,
I'm doing a quick comparison between a couple tables, trying to cleanup
some inconsistencies, and what should be a simple check between 2 tables
doesn't seem to be working. psql is 8.3.7 and server is 8.2.13.
I run the following:
select sfd.lid as sflid,sd.lid as slid,sfd.serial from sfd,shawns_data
sd where sfd.serial = sd.serial_number order by sfd.lid;
the lid columns in both tables should be identical, but as you see in
this sample, they do differ:
sflid | slid | serial
-------+-------+----------
14056 | 14056 | 9614583
14057 | | 9614984
14058 | 14058 | 9614737
14059 | 14059 | 9614579
14060 | | 9614827
14061 | 14061 | 9614726
14062 | 14062 | 9614966
14063 | 14063 | 9615079
So running this query:
select count(*) from sfd,shawns_data sd where sfd.serial = sd.serial_number and
sfd.lid != sd.lid;
I should show some rows that do not match, at least 2 (there are more than
shown).
But instead I get this:
count
-------
0
(1 row)
What am I doing wrong?
