Sorry, worst Subject I've ever come up with, but this is one of those "I
haven't got a clue how to describe" emails ...
Simple query:
SELECT distinct s.gid, s.created, i.title FROM status s LEFT JOIN images i ON (s.gid = i.gid AND i.active),
personal_datapd, relationship_wanted rw WHERE s.active AND s.status != 0 AND s.gid = 17111 AND (s.gid = pd.gid
ANDpd.gender = 0) AND (s.gid = rw.gid AND rw.gender = 0 );
Produces:
gid | created | title
-------+------------------------+--------17111 | 2000-10-19 15:20:46-04 | image117111 | 2000-10-19 15:20:46-04 |
image217111| 2000-10-19 15:20:46-04 | image3
(3 rows)
Great, what I expect ...
But:
SELECT distinct s.gid, s.created, count(i.title) AS images FROM status s LEFT JOIN images i ON (s.gid = i.gid AND
i.active),personal_data pd, relationship_wanted rw WHERE s.active AND s.status != 0 AND s.gid = 17111 AND (s.gid
=pd.gid AND pd.gender = 0) AND (s.gid = rw.gid AND rw.gender = 0 )
GROUP BY s.gid, s.created;
Produces:
/tmp/psql.edit.70.62491: 7 lines, 353 characters. gid | created | images
-------+------------------------+--------17111 | 2000-10-19 15:20:46-04 | 15
(1 row)
So why is it counting 12 more images then are actually found/exist:
testdb=# select title from images where gid = 17111;title
--------image1image3image2
