Today i take up again and see the ordering for me (third time i install
RH6.1), now
with postgres version 6.5.2-1
the problem is always the same
When i do the following
CREATE TABLE BLANK (column1 varchar(5));
INSERT INTO BLANK (column1) VALUES (' 1');
INSERT INTO BLANK (column1) VALUES (' 11');
INSERT INTO BLANK (column1) VALUES (' 100');
INSERT INTO BLANK (column1) VALUES (' 2');
then:
SELECT * FROM BLANK order by column1;
I received
1
100
11
2 --> mark also a not aligned output.
and I expected
1
2
11
100
Anybody has an idea??
