> Key: DERBY-1620
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1620
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.1.3.1
> Environment: Windows XP
> Reporter: John Peterson
> Attachments: Derby_Community_Discussion.doc,
> SQL2003_Standard_Case_Expression.doc, sysinfo_and_example.txt

>
> This bug appears to be related to the DERBY-7 bug (NULLIF() function). When
> NULL is used during a CASE statement, Derby requires the NULL to be CAST to
> the appropriate type. This does not appear to meet the SQL 2003 Standard for
> the Case Expression (see attached Word document). See the attached Word
> document to view the Derby Community Discussion about this issue. See the
> attached .TXT to view the SYSINFO and to see an example of the steps to
> reproduce using IJ.
> Steps to Reproduce:
> ij>values case when 1=2 then 3 else NULL end;
> ERROR 42X89: Types 'INTEGER' and 'CHAR' are not type compatible. Neither
> type is assignable to the other type.
> Current Workaround:
> ij>values case when 1=2 then 3 else cast(NULL as INT) end;
