Problem IT14450 | Status: Closed |
LEFT-OVER ERROR FROM JOIN PHASE CAN MAKE SORT OR FETCH FAIL INADVERTENTLY | |
product: | |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10 | |
Problem description: | |
A query joining two columns where one column's content might be not fully convertible to the other column's type, might fail either during sort (if e.g. ORDER BY was used), or subsequent fetch would return an error - even though the join succeeded and had silently ignored the error. For example you'd join an INTEGER to a DECIMAL(13,0) with the later containing values larger than what an integer can hold. Such join should be valid and simply not return anything for those large decimal values. | |
