Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-4433:
-------------------------------------------

The following is a trimmed down repro for the NPE (which happens during code 
generation):

CREATE TABLE T (I INT, S SMALLINT);
INSERT INTO T (S, I) VALUES (1, 2) UNION VALUES (2, 3);

Without the patch, the InsertNode will put a NormalizeResultSetNode on top of 
the UnionNode. The NormalizeRSN is there because the integers that are inserted 
into the S column need to be converted to smallints. The RCL of the 
NormalizeRSN contains ResultColumns that via VirtualColumnNodes point to the 
ResultColumns in the UnionNode.

With the patch, a ProjectRestrictNode is inserted between the 
NormalizeResultSetNode and the UnionNode, to allow for reordering of the 
columns without touching the UnionNode's RCL. The ResultColumns of the 
NormalizeRSN now point to the RCs of the PRN, via VirtualCNs, as expected. 
However, the PRN's RCs don't point to the UnionNode's RC, as I think they 
should have done. And it looks like the UnionNode has the exact same 
ResultColumns as the NormalizeRSN, which also sounds wrong.

> If an INSERT statement takes the rows to insert from an EXCEPT query or an 
> INTERSECT query, the statement fails with "Column position 'X' out of range" 
> if the target table contains more columns than the result returned from 
> EXCEPT or INTERSECT.
> Example:
> ij> create table t (x int, y int);
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> insert into t(x) select x from t except select x from t;
> ERROR 42X77: Column position '2' is out of range for the query expression.
> ij> insert into t(x) select x from t intersect select x from t;
> ERROR 42X77: Column position '2' is out of range for the query expression.
> The corresponding UNION query works:
> ij> insert into t(x) select x from t union select x from t;
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
