Comment 19714

From: Martin van Dinther <<martin.van.dinther>>

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:27.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/27.0
Build Identifier:

Execute following SQL query on a new demo database
SELECT * FROM SYS.ARGS WHERE FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS) OR FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT * FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. start mserver5
2. start SQuirreL connecting to demo database
3. execute SQL query:
   SELECT * FROM SYS.ARGS
   WHERE FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS)
   OR FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT * FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS)

Actual Results:

builtin opt gdk_dbpath = /ufs/dinther/MonetDBFebr2014/var/monetdb5/dbfarm/demo
builtin opt gdk_debug = 0
builtin opt gdk_vmtrim = no
builtin opt monet_prompt = >
builtin opt monet_daemon = no
builtin opt mapi_port = 50000
builtin opt mapi_open = false
builtin opt mapi_autosense = false
builtin opt sql_optimizer = default_pipe
builtin opt sql_debug = 0

./start_mserver5: line 1: 11671 Segmentation fault ./MonetDBFebr2014/bin/mserver5 -d10

Expected Results:

No server crash, but a SQL syntax error as the construction
FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT * FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS)
is not valid.

SELECT * FROM SYS.ARGS WHERE FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT ID FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS)
works fine (reports 0 rows).

SELECT * FROM SYS.ARGS WHERE FUNC_ID NOT IN (SELECT * FROM SYS.FUNCTIONS)
also executes (many rows returned), but should have given an SQL syntax error (I will report that as a separate bug)

Only the combination of the two where-clauses with an OR lets the server crash.
