DECODE FUNCTION MAY NOT MATCH NULL VALUES |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
When the first parameter of the DECODE function is a string
type, it may not match a NULL value at an even number position
of the
DECODE function. This also applies to '' (empty string) when
database is in ORA mode.
Example:
select decode (a1, null, 'null', '00') as a1
from (select cast (NULL as CHAR) as a1
from table (values(1)));
returns '00' instead of 'null'. |
