Hello,
We had a support request today, and we have narrowed down the problem to a
query that behaves very strangely. The actual query was much more
complicated, but I came up with this minimal example.
This is what we have seen inside our application:
select * from test where id in (26643094740, 26437091668);
id |code|regno|col_3|
-----------+----+-----+-----+
26437091668|TA-T| 2632| 1|
26643094740|PEG | 2905| 1|
select * from test where id = 26643094740;
id |code|regno|col_3|
-----------+----+-----+-----+
26643094740|PEG | 2905| 0|
The problem: value of col_3 changes for id=26643094740 if I query two rows
vs. one row. This is without changing any data. The problem is 100%
repeatable, if I query two rows from the same view, then I get different
data for one of the rows.
I suspect that this is a bug. But I might be wrong. Please help me!
The actual test view looks like this:
create view test as
SELECT
c.id,
tt.code,
c.regno,
(
select count(*)
FROM kap.course_user cu
JOIN wf.workflow w_1 ON w_1.rec_id = cu.id AND w_1.head_table_id =
25408438504
where cu.is_active AND cu.course_id = c.id AND w_1.station_id =
25406740434
) AS col_3
FROM
kap.course c
INNER JOIN kap.training_type tt ON tt.id = c.training_type_id;
Below are some DDL s (simplified, the actual tables contain much more
fields).
Do you think that this might be a bug? If not, then can somebody please
explain how this can happen?
