[jira] [Created] (DERBY-6408) EXISTS returns NULL instead of FALSE
Knut Anders Hatlen created DERBY-6408:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: EXISTS returns NULL instead of FALSE
Key: DERBY-6408
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6408
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 10.10.1.1
Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
The reference manual topic on Boolean expressions - http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/ref/rrefsqlj23075.html - says that EXISTS should return FALSE if the subquery returns no rows. In reality, it returns NULL:
ij> create table t(x int);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij> values exists(select * from t);
1
-----
NULL
1 row selected
SQL:2011, part 2, 8.10 <exists predicate> also says that FALSE is the correct result if the cardinality is 0.
