Hello all, We are currently evaluating sqlite for using it as the base engine for a financial reporting module. We have some fairly complex queries which yield strange results. We have tried to isolate the problem below. Please see select queries at the end and associated comments which detail the issue:
=============================== create table Test (x FLOAT); insert into Test values (10); insert into Test values (10); insert into Test values (20); insert into Test values (30); insert into Test values (40); create view TestViewWeird as select max(t1.x) as x, sum(t2.x) as cum_sum_x, -- bad sql below but is should yield consistent results IMO (select sum(x) from Test) as total from Test as t1 inner join Test as t2 on t2.oid <= t1.oid -- only difference is expression below and total * t1.x > 0 -- group by t1.oid ; create view TestView as select max(t1.x) as x, sum(t2.x) as cum_sum_x, -- bad sql below but is should yield consistent results IMO (select sum(x) from Test) as total from Test as t1 inner join Test as t2 on t2.oid <= t1.oid -- only difference is expression below and (select sum(x) from Test) * t1.x > 0 -- group by t1.oid ; create view TestViewSegFault as select max(t1.x) as x, sum(t2.x) as cum_sum_x, -- only difference is expression below max((select sum(x) from Test)) as total from Test as t1 inner join Test as t2 on t2.oid <= t1.oid and total * t1.x > 0 -- group by t1.oid ; .headers on -- below queries yield exactly the same results select * from TestView; select * from TestViewWeird; -- the first query below returns a value but the second returns a null. select sum(x) from TestView; select sum(x) from TestViewWeird; -- below seg faults select * from TestViewSegFault; ========================================== what are we doing wrong? Any help or pointers to appropriate docs will be greatly appreciated.
