The real question was: are there open known bugs where a select
statement does not return a correct result, meaning a wrong number of
rows? Were there a lot of errors like this?
We are asking this because this makes trouble with the database we are
currently using. Of course we know that there is no guarantee that
pgsql works 100% bugfree but we are only asking for user experience.
