> Following steps to reproduce the bug:
> create table xx (a double, b double);
> insert into xx values (2, 3);
> select a, a*(b/100.000000), count(*) from xx  group by a, a*(b/100.000000);
> Starting run
> select a, a*(b/100.000000), count(*) from xx 
> group by a, a*(b/100.000000)
> Run successful
> SQL State = 38000 SQL Code = 20000 SQL Message = Bei der Auswertung eines 
> Ausdrucks wurde die Ausnahme 'java.lang.NullPointerException' ausgelöst. 
> Exception message = java.sql.SQLException: Bei der Auswertung eines Ausdrucks 
> wurde die Ausnahme 'java.lang.NullPointerException' ausgelöst.
> Work around:
