Re: Re: [SQL] Re: SQL Join - MySQL/PostgreSQL difference?

I believe the cr/lf was the problem.  I reran the original query:

SELECT
  tblFDBMono.SequenceNumber,
  tblFDBMono.SectionCode,
  tblFDBMono.LineText
FROM
  tblPEMDrugLink,
  tblFDBMono
WHERE
  (tblPEMDrugLink.MonographId = tblFDBMono.MonographId) AND
  (VersionId = 'FDB-PE') AND
  (Category = 'PEM') AND
  (tblPEMDrugLink.DrugId = 'DG-5039')
ORDER BY
  tblFDBMono.SequenceNumber

And was returned the results I expected.  Sweetness.  Damned stupid that
it took me this long to figure this out ... I have the PostgreSQL book,
but I must have missed the section where it talked about COPY ... FROM
only taking the LF and leaving the CR.  I knew the files were exported
in 'DOS' format (according to vi) ... and in the back of my mind I
thought that could screw things up.  Hrmpf.  At least I got it figured out.

Thanx a ton, guys.
