Problem IT43206 Status: Closed

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
