SQL WITH NESTED MATH OPERATIONS ON COLUMNS THAT ARE DEFINED WITH NOT NULL
AND USING FUNCTIONS MAY RETURNED DIFFERENT RESULTS.

Problem description:
Incorrect results are possible when doing nested math operations 
on columns that are defined with NOT NULL and using functions. 
 
Example (pseudo-code): 
 
create function3(col1 bigint,col2 bigint)
