-----------------------------------

             Summary: Block `count(table.*)` to follow ANSI standard and other 
SQL engines
                 Key: SPARK-34199
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-34199
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Linhong Liu


In spark, the count(table.*) may cause very weird result, for example:

select count(*) from (select 1 as a, null as b) t;

output: 1

select count(t.*) from (select 1 as a, null as b) t;

output: 0

 

After checking the ANSI standard, count(*) is always treated as count(1) while 
count(t.*) is not allowed. What's more, this is also not allowed by common 
databases, e.g. MySQL, oracle.
