JAlexoid,
Thanks for reminder.
I forgot to mention postgres-pr

Usually, you don’t put quotes directly.. but like the ordering, not everyone does things in the best way (of course, including me) so, thanks for that too.

One other reminder…
In MySQL double quote is a string delimeter, in PostgreSQL single quote ONLY is the string delimeter, double quote is for DBMS object like table names, schema names, column names and so on.

And for easiness of working with PostgreSQL on windows use postgres-pr (pure ruby driver)

And in general you should never assume the order of anything in a DB, unless order is explicitly specified.

Everything works like a charm, have one in production…
