This bug might be related to 2739.

Using version Oct2010-SP1.
When executing a query with avg(d)*avg(d) the results are correct, but when this is created within a view, the results are wrong.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create table t (d double);
2. insert into d values (2),(3);
3. select avg(d) as avg_d, avg(d*d) as avg_d2, avg(d)*avg(d) as avg2_d_mult from t;
   this gives the expected results.
4. create view tv as select avg(d) as avg_d, avg(d*d) as avg_d2, avg(d)*avg(d) as avg2_d_mult from t;
   this gives for avg2_d_mult the wrong results.

Actual Results:

View returns erroneous value.

Expected Results:

Correct result

Tried a workaround by using power(avg(d),2) but this did also not work.

1. select avg(d) as avg_d, avg(d*d) as avg_d2, power(avg(d),2) as avg2_d_pow from t;
2. create view tv1 as select avg(d) as avg_d, avg(d*d) as avg_d2, power(avg(d),2) as avg2_d_pow from t;
3. select * from tv1;
   TypeException:user.s0_1[48]:'mmath.pow' undefined in: _60:any := mmath.pow(_29:wrd, _59:dbl)
   SQLException:SQLengine:Program contains errors

added test view_avg_incorrect_result.Bug-2790.sql
fixed by using unique label numbers
