The following snippet demonstrates a problem with the result of a thetajoin.
(it is not blocking me at the moment, because the thetajoin doesn't do what I need, which I'm affraid is by design of the thetajoin, similar to antijoin problems)

l := bat.new(:oid, :int);
r := bat.new(:oid, :int);

l := bat.insert(l, 2@0, 1);
l := bat.insert(l, 6@0, 2);

r := bat.insert(r, 3@0, 1);
r := bat.insert(r, 7@0, 2);

rr := bat.reverse(r);

t := algebra.thetajoin(l, rr, 1); gt

io.print(t); returns 6@0 3@0 (2 is greater than 1? w/e)

b := bat.new(:oid, :oid);
b := bat.insert(b, t); BUG: ERROR: BATkey: dense column must be unique.

Yes, 2 is greater than 1.

b := bat.new(:oid, :oid);
b := bat.insert(b, t); BUG: ERROR: BATkey: dense column must be unique.

This is a matter of incorrect property setting. It can be solved by calling BATsettrivprop() at the end of BATnlthetajoin.
It is worth checking for similar situations (all functions that return a new BAT?).

Changeset 84a308d197ae made by Sjoerd Mullender sjoerd@acm.org in the MonetDB repo, refers to this bug.

For complete details, see http//devmonetdborg/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=84a308d197ae

Changeset description:

When returning a BAT to the intrepreter, set the trivial properties.
BBPkeepref is called whenever a new BAT is returned to the
interpreter, so it is a good place to set trivial properties
(properties which can be inferred trivially).
This fixes bug #2974.
Also added test for the bug.
