User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.77 Safari/535.7
Build Identifier:

Take the following SQL:


create table a(i int);
insert into a values (1),(2),(3);

explain
select cast(i as bigint) from a;


and it's explain:

+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| mal |
+================================================================+
| function user.s4_1():void; |
| X_1 := sql.mvc(); |
| X_8:bat[:oid,:int] := sql.bind(X_1,"spinque","a","i",0); |
| X_4:bat[:oid,:oid] := sql.bind_dbat(X_1,"spinque","a",1); |
| X_7 := bat.reverse(X_4); |
| X_10 := algebra.kdifference(X_8,X_7); |
| X_11 := batcalc.lng(X_10); |
| X_12 := sql.resultSet(1,1,X_11); |
| sql.rsColumn(X_12,"spinque.","i","bigint",64,0,X_11); |
| X_17 := io.stdout(); |
| sql.exportResult(X_17,X_12); |
| end s4_1; |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

When debugging this query from SQL, I found out that X_10 is sorted on tail, as expected. However, X_11 is not sorted on tail.

Of course I would expect an up-cast not to modify the order (while a down-cast would).

What I find strange is also that trying to repeat the same in mal doesn't seem to change the order:

mal>a := bat.new(:oid,:int);
mal>bat.append(a,1);
mal>bat.append(a,2);
mal>bat.append(a,3);
mal>la := batcalc.lng(a);
mal>
mal>ra := bat.reverse(a);
mal>rla := bat.reverse(la);
mal>
mal>i_ra := bat.isSorted(ra);
mal>i_rla := bat.isSorted(rla);
mal>
mal>io.print(ra);

t h name
int void type

[ 1, 0@0 ]
[ 2, 1@0 ]
[ 3, 2@0 ]
mal>io.print("Ordered on tail",i_ra);
[ "Ordered on tail", true]
mal>
mal>io.print(rla);

t h name
lng void type

[ 1, 0@0 ]
[ 2, 1@0 ]
[ 3, 2@0 ]
mal>io.print("Ordered on tail",i_rla);
[ "Ordered on tail", true]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Debug the SQL query above
  2. Inspect X_10 (original int values) and X_11 (lng values)

Actual Results:

X_11 has tsorded=0

Expected Results:

X_11 has tsorded=65

Thanks for notifying and reporting.

We'll look into this, although it is technically not a BUG: it is technically correct to have a sorted BAT that is not marked as being sorted.

However, given that MonetDB can and does exploit (and often rely on) known properties like sortedness for performance, we should indeed be more eager on propagating such properties wherever possible...

Did you run your MAL example in the very mserver5 that also ran the SQL example?
(I.e., when running the MAL example, you did not by any chance enable property checking?)

I agree, not technically a bug. But indeed, given how much faster many operators can be on sorted inputs, this information should not be lost whenever possible.

I ran sql and mal examples on the very same mserver5 (even on the same db), simply changing from -sql to -mal in my mclient command. Without stopping mserver5 in between.
