Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-2352: ---------------------------------------- Here is the generated code for the "projection" method (e1) and the "rowAllocator" method (e3) for the "order by" variant of the select statement: public Object e1() throws StandardException, Exception { ConcatableDataValue concatabledatavalue = getDataValueFactory().getCharDataValue("abc", null). substring(getDataValueFactory().getDataValue(1, null), null, e3, 3); e3 = concatabledatavalue; e2.setColumn(1, (DataValueDescriptor)concatabledatavalue); ConcatableDataValue concatabledatavalue1 = getDataValueFactory().getCharDataValue("abc", null). substring(getDataValueFactory().getDataValue(1, null), null, e4, 3); e4 = concatabledatavalue1; e2.setColumn(2, (DataValueDescriptor)concatabledatavalue1); return e2; } public Object e2() throws StandardException { e5.setColumn(1, getDataValueFactory().getNullChar(null)); e5.setColumn(2, getDataValueFactory().getNullChar(null)); return e5; } The projection method's call to getCharDataValue() constructs a SQLChar, and SQLChar.substring() then returns a SQLVarchar. But the rowAllocator's getNullChar() method constructs a SQLChar. It is the mismatch between the SQLVarchar that is returned by substring, and the SQLChar that is created by the rowAllocator's getNullChar, that is causing the assertion to trip in the sorter. > Assertion Failure with order by and group by expression > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-2352 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2352 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SQL > Affects Versions: 10.2.2.0, 10.3.1.4 > Environment: Any > Reporter: Yip Ng > Assignee: Bryan Pendleton > > Assertion failure with order by expression: > ij> select substr('abc', 1) from t1 order by substr('abc', 1); > ERROR XJ001: Java exception: 'ASSERT FAILED col1.getClass() (class > org.apache.derby.iapi.types.SQLVarchar) expected to be the same as > col2.getClass() (class org.apache.derby.iapi.types.SQLChar): > org.apache.derby.shared.common.sanity.AssertFailure'. > Stacktrace: > org.apache.derby.shared.common.sanity.AssertFailure: ASSERT FAILED > col1.getClass() (class org.apache.derby.iapi.types.SQLVarchar) expected to be > the same as col2.getClass() (class org.apache.derby.iapi.types.SQLChar) > at > org.apache.derby.shared.common.sanity.SanityManager.THROWASSERT(SanityManager.java:149) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.store.access.sort.MergeSort.checkColumnTypes(MergeSort.java:472) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.store.access.sort.MergeInserter.insert(MergeInserter.java:106) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.sql.execute.SortResultSet.loadSorter(SortResultSet.java:318) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.sql.execute.SortResultSet.openCore(SortResultSet.java:269) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.sql.execute.ProjectRestrictResultSet.openCore(ProjectRestrictResultSet.java:169) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.sql.execute.BasicNoPutResultSetImpl.open(BasicNoPutResultSetImpl.java:260) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.sql.GenericPreparedStatement.execute(GenericPreparedStatement.java:358) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedStatement.executeStatement(EmbedStatement.java:1182) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedStatement.execute(EmbedStatement.java:585) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.jdbc.EmbedStatement.execute(EmbedStatement.java:517) > at org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.ij.executeImmediate(ij.java:321) > at org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.utilMain.doCatch(utilMain.java:517) > at > org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.utilMain.runScriptGuts(utilMain.java:370) > at org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.utilMain.go(utilMain.java:268) > at org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.Main.go(Main.java:204) > at org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.Main.mainCore(Main.java:170) > at org.apache.derby.impl.tools.ij.Main14.main(Main14.java:56) > at org.apache.derby.tools.ij.main(ij.java:71) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
