Hallo
I was a little surprised by this behavior.
Is this what is supposed to happen?
This query returns what I want:
with
a as (select generate_series(1,3) a_val)
,b as (select generate_series(1,2) b_val)
,c as (select generate_series(1,1) c_val)
select * from a
inner join c on a.a_val=c.c_val
full join b on a.a_val=b.b_val
;
I get all values from b since it only has a full join and nothing else.
But if I change the order in the joining like this:
with
a as (select generate_series(1,3) a_val)
,b as (select generate_series(1,2) b_val)
, c as (select generate_series(1,1) c_val)
select * from a
full join b on a.a_val=b.b_val
inner join c on a.a_val=c.c_val
;
also b is limited to only return value 1.
I thought that the join was defined by "on a.a_val=c.c_val"
and that the relation between b and the rest wasn't affected by that last inner join.
I use PostgreSQL 9.3.6
Is this the expected behavior?
Thanks
