Build Identifier:

Run the following statements

create table t(r integer,a integer);
insert into t values (1,2),(2,0),(3,null);
select case when not (a is null) and a > 0.0 then r/a else -1 end as s from t;

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:

Error message 'division by zero.'

Expected Results:

Result should be returned.

Also happens in the Oct2014 branch.

Weirdly,

select case when not (a is null) and a > 0.0 then r/a else -1 end as s from t;

works fine.

Correction, the breaking query is

select case when not (a is null) and a > 0.0 then 1.0*r/a else -1 end as r from t;
