[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3033) select query results in nullpointer
exception in skipScan()
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3033?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12526825 ]
Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-3033:
---------------------------------------
I was wondering in the skipScan code, should the column values of startPosition ever be null? In this case column[0] is null, but I was wondering if that is ever expected.
startPosition IndexRow (id=136)
column DataValueDescriptor[1] (id=149)
[0] null
ncols 1
orderedNulls boolean[1] (id=150)
[0] false
Just to try to understand the impact I tried this small change, which interestingly caused the test case and suiltes.All to pass, but I don't really understand what it means for the column value to be null.
I am guessing this is not the correct solution but rather there is some sort of problem in generating the column value for startPosition. Just want to check though in case there is a circumstance where the column value should be null and this change is ok.

Thanks for the help. I am certainly out of my element with this code, so appreciate any help or pointers anyone can offer.

> The following error was repeatedly thrown when we tried to run a select query via JDBC. Strangely, the exact same select query did not trigger any error when run from the command line console. After we added an index, the error went away completely.
