| Problem description: | |
Incorrect results are possible when doing nested math operations
on columns that are defined with NOT NULL and using functions.
Example (pseudo-code):
create function3(col1 bigint,col2 bigint)
{
return function1(col1)-function2(col2);
}
SELECT SUM(function3(column1,column2)) from table;
<-- intermittent incorrect results are possible on databases
with smaller non-automatic SORTHEAP. | |
