-----------------------------------
Summary: TCK: SQLPathTest.testChildAxisRoot expected root node not
in result
Key: JCR-3376
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3376
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Thomas Mueller
Assignee: Thomas Mueller
Priority: Minor
The TCK test SQLPathTest.testChildAxisRoot runs the following SQL-1 query:
SELECT * FROM nt:base WHERE jcr:path LIKE '/%' AND NOT jcr:path LIKE '/%/%'
It expected the result to be
/jcr:system, /testroot, /testdata
It does not allow the implementation to return the root node ('/'). According
to the specification, a JCR implementation may filter the root node, as noted
by Randall Hauch -

- quote:
"
Section 6.6.5.1 ("jcr:like function") defines the semantics of the wildcard
characters as generally used within LIKE predicates (and "jcr:like" in XPath):
"As in SQL, the character '%' represents any string of zero or more
characters, and the character '_' (underscore) represents any
single character."
while Section 8.5.2.2 ("Pseudo-property jcr:path") specifies the semantics
"jcr:path" pseudo column and narrows the semantics of using LIKE with
"jcr:path" in the second-to-last bullet point:
"Predicates in the WHERE clause that test jcr:path are only required to
support the operators =, <> and LIKE. In the case of LIKE predicates,
support is only required for tests using the % wildcard character as a
match for a whole path segment (the part between two / characters)
or within index brackets...."
Because the '%' matches only a whole path segment, the "/%" literal only
matches paths that have at least one path segment, which means that it matches
all descendants of the root node.
"
the specification says "In the case of LIKE predicates, support is only
required for tests using the % wildcard character as a match for a whole path
segment (the part between two / characters)..." but it doesn't specify it needs
to do so.
To allow an implementation to return the root node, I suggest to change the
test as follows:
... AND NOT jcr:path LIKE '/%/%' AND jcr:path <> '/'
