NullPointerException thrown when creating nested query

                 Key: DERBY-4780
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4780
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 10.6.1.0
         Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.4, Java 1.6.0_20
            Reporter: Scott Wilson


I'm writing a Java application that's working with Embedded Apache Derby via 
JDBC. I'm having problems with the code in the following snippet:

byte md5[] = md5sum(file);
    
PreparedStatement s = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO input_files (job_ID, 
hash) SELECT job_id, ? FROM job WHERE job_name = ?");
s.setBytes(1, md5);
s.setString(2, jobName);
s.executeUpdate();
s.close();

This inserts into the following tables:

CREATE TABLE input_files
(
    hash char(16) for bit data,
    job_id integer REFERENCES job,
    PRIMARY KEY(job_id, hash)
);

CREATE TABLE job
(
    job_id integer PRIMARY KEY GENERATED ALWAYS as IDENTITY,
    job_name character varying(50) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
    #other fields
);

The idea is that there is an internal integer `job_id` which is used internally 
by the database, but we want to reference it as much as possible with the 
human-readable String `job_name`

This consistently throws the following exception.

    java.sql.SQLException: Java exception: ': java.lang.NullPointerException'.

        at [line 3 of snippet above]

As you can see, this is thrown from the line where the prepared statement is 
created - it doesn't get as far as executing it. I had assumed I was doing 
something wrong, but a few people over at Stack Overflow ( 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3503710/derby-insert-select-null-pointer-exception
 ) reckon that this is a bug, at least in terms of what error is being 
reported. For what it's worth, the exact same code works fine with PostgreSQL.
