Perhaps you could create a test case with table creation, upsert and then the select that reproduces and illustrates the problem?

Hi All - I came across a very strange issue when using COALESCE function. It appears to me that it returns null values - please consider a following query: select length(coalesce(V_RS_DBSNP142,'N/A')) from TABLE1 limit 10; +------------------------------------------+ | LENGTH(COALESCE("V_RS_DBSNP142", 'N/A')) | +------------------------------------------+ | null | | null | | null | | null | | null | | null | | null | | null | | null | | null | +------------------------------------------+ 10 rows selected (0.056 seconds) Am I doing sth wrong or there is a bug in that function? I'm using Phoenix 4.6. Many thanks in advance. Marek
