I'm trying to find the set of records that are not in a comma delimited list using an SQL statement like:
SELECT name FROM construction WHERE name NOT IN ('a1 ', 'a2 ', '') ORDER BY name;
The values in the field are padded with spaces and I have to keep them that way for data integrity between software systems. If I send this statement to the PostgreSQL database with ADO via the ODBC driver (adoRs.Open sql, dbconn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic) I don't get any records. However, if I execute the same statement in psql directly, I get nineteen rows.
Is there a property setting or something that I'm missing when using the driver?
Thanks,
