That's what I tought the problem was, but I created  a table afterwards without
inheritence. Could it have something to do with the max size of the schema
or oid's?

 Hi There,

 I've a problem with inserting data and I can't figure out what the problem

 what did I do:


 1. I've a master table containing about 4 records. A count(*) provides
 me the exact number.

 2. I've create a table based on from the master. I copied a fraction from
 the master into the new table using a where clause (insert into ... select
 * from ... where a = b . The number of records copied is about 2553.

Define based on. Do you mean CREATE TABLE AS or perhaps that the new
table inherits from the old one?  If the latter, you will see the rows in
the parent as well as the child if you do a select from the parent.

I can't think of a reason it would, so can you send a self-contained
full example?

Hi Stephan,

I figured out what happened:

The master table contained duplicates, but the insert statement seems to
be very smart by selecting just the unique ones.

sounds like you inserted into the master table instead of the new table.
can you show us the exact SQL you used?

or even better, can you make this happen in a simple test case?

Some more info

select count(*) from master_bart where substr(locode_c5,1,2) =  'NL'

gives me the result: 5106


delete from masterplts_nl;

insert into masterplts_nl
select * from master_bart where substr(locode_c5,1,2) =  'NL';

Query returned successfully: 2553 rows affected, 5127 ms execution time.
