LAG() AND LEAD() OLAP RANKING FUNCTIONS CORRUPTING LARGER RESULTSETS WITH IGNORE NULLS | |
| product: | |
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - | |
| Problem description: | |
When using LAG() or LEAD() OLAP functions with IGNORE NULLS on a
sufficiently large result set containing NULL values, the result
set would see some of its rows replaced by duplicates of others.
E.g. the following query would produce
select hex(rowid) rowid, *,
lag(c,1) ignore nulls over (order by s) lag_1
from test_tab
order by s;
rowid s c lag_1
0x00000101 1 1
0x00000101 1 1
0x00000102 2 2 1
0x00000102 2 2 1
0x00000103 3 3 2
0x00000103 3 3 2
0x00000104 4 4 3
0x00000104 4 4 3
instead of
rowid s c lag_1
0x00000101 1 1
0x00000102 2 2 1
0x00000103 3 3 2
0x00000104 4 4 3
0x00000105 5 5 4 | |
