DERBY-4631 Wrong join column returned by right outer join with NATURAL or USING
and territory-based collation
To recap this issue, SQL:2003 says that the join columns in a natural join or
in a named columns join should be added to the select list by coalescing the
column from the left table with the column from the right table
Derby has it's on logic to retrieve the join column values. It always picks up
join column's value from the left table when we are working with natural left
outer join and it picks up the join column's value from the right table when we
are working with natural right outer join.
But this logic does not work for all cases for right outer join. The fix
provided in this patch will pick the join column's value based on following
logic(this logic mimics the functionality of COALESCE)
1)if the left table's column value is null then pick up the right table's
column's value.
2)If the left table's column value is non-null, then pick up that value

> For a right outer join, Derby doesn't use COALESCE(TA.C, TB.C), but
> rather just TB.C (the column in the right table) directly.
> This is in most cases OK, because COALESCE(TA.C, TB.C) = TB.C is an
> invariant in a right outer join. (Because TA.C is either NULL or equal
> to TB.C.)
> However, in a database with territory-based collation, equality
> between two values does not mean they are identical, especially now
> that the strength of the collator can be specified (DERBY-1748).
> Take for instance this join:
> ij> connect
> 'jdbc:derby:testdb;create=true;territory=en_US;collation=TERRITORY_BASED:SECONDARY';
> ij> create table big(x varchar(5));
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> insert into big values 'A','B','C';
> 3 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> create table small(x varchar(5));
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> insert into small values 'b','c','d';
> 3 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> select x, t1.x, t2.x, coalesce(t1.x, t2.x) from small t1 natural right
> outer join big t2;
> X |X |X |4
> -----------------------
> A |NULL |A |A
> B |b |B |b
> C |c |C |c
> 3 rows selected
> I believe that the expected result from the above query is that the
> first column should have the same values as the last column. That is,
> the first column should contain {'A', 'b', 'c'}, not {'A', 'B', 'C'}.
