select * from temptable where tempcolumn != 'blah'||'blah';
or
select * from temptable where tempcolumn <> 'blah'||'blah';
I could be wrong, but there may be an bug in the order of precedence.
If you try the above query, postgres will return:
ERROR: array value must start with "{" or dimension information
If you group the expressions as;
select * from temptable where tempcolumn != ('blah'||'blah');
or
select * from temptable where tempcolumn <> ('blah'||'blah');
it works like a charm.
Just curious if there is a reason for this order of operation. Thanks
Kris
