Category: SQL/Core Group: SQL "stable" Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 9 Private: No Submitted By: Stefan Manegold (stmane) Assigned to: Arjen de Rijke (arjenderijke) Summary: SQL: various VIA-M tests fail Initial Comment: Arjen, could you please check, whether the stable output is indeed correct? http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/sql/.mTests103/GNU.64.64.d.1-Fedora10/src_test_Via-m/media_s14.out.00.html http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/sql/.mTests103/GNU.64.64.d.1-Fedora10/src_test_Via-m/media_s16.out.00.html http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/sql/.mTests103/GNU.64.64.d.1-Fedora10/src_test_Via-m/media_s18.out.00.html http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/sql/.mTests103/GNU.64.64.d.1-Fedora10/src_test_Via-m/media_s19.out.00.html http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/sql/.mTests103/GNU.64.64.d.1-Fedora10/src_test_Via-m/file_s10.out.00.html http://monetdb.cwi.nl/testing/projects/monetdb/Stable/sql/.mTests103/GNU.64.64.d.1-Fedora10/src_test_Via-m/file_s18.out.00.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Stefan Manegold (stmane) Date: 2009-11-16 10:07 Message: Since the purpose of these tests is not to test the default value of non-initialized variables, I see no reason not to simply make them deterministic in any case by explicitly initializing the variables. If the default value of non-initialized variables is indeed an issue, I propose to add a separate test for that, e.g., as simple as declare MyVar integer; select MyVar; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan Manegold (stmane) Date: 2009-11-16 09:59 Message: FYI: The Nov2009 branch is (used as / referred to as) the "Stable" branch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Arjen de Rijke (arjenderijke) Date: 2009-11-16 09:49 Message: The stable output is what i now expect it to be, whether it is correct is still debated. I already approved the stable output of these tests in the Nov2009 branch, my suggestion is to do the same for the stable branch. Than we can continue the discussion after the release. That has become more complicated now it appears that assertions are involved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stefan Manegold (stmane) Date: 2009-11-14 10:26 Message: The first 5 of the reported 6 tests seem to fail again (or still) with nightly Stable testing. A small analysis reveals, that they fail only with assertions disabled (as with nightly Stable testing and in the "production" release), but work fine with assertions enabled. The "failure" (i.e., difference) seems to be that with assertion enabled, the default value of a non-initialized variable is -606348325, while with assertions disabled, either the value is 0, or a failing function unexpectedly triggers an 0-assignment of its return value to that variable. In case it's the former (i.e., different default value for non-initialized variables), and the SQL standard does not specify the default value of a non-initialized variable, I'd propose to make these tests deterministic by initializing the respective variable to a value that the function cannot return, and approve the stable output accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=482468&aid=2893859&group_id=56967 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
