You mean that "a1 " is not equal to "a1 " ?
but PostgreSQL has a different behavior in the following example:
hygea=> select code,len(code) as len_of_code,code1, len(code1) as
len_of_code1
from master1 where code = code1;
code |len_of_code|code1 |len_of_code1
----------+-----------+------------+------------
a1 | 10|a1 | 15
(1 row)
in this case the test code = code1 is true even if these fields have
different number of trailling spaces.
Therefore if the above test is OK there's a bug on:
select m.*, d.* from master1 m, detail1 d where m.code=d.code;
