select count(*) from table; Results: 168466 rows select count(*) from table where column=0; Results: 168466 rows select count(*) from table where column<>0; Results: 168466 rows When I do a "select column from table where client_id=0 limit 5;" I see correct non-zero values in the result although the selection condition is that the column value must be 0. I put the data on another instance/machine - I don't see this issue.
