The following query used to work in 11.50, 11.70 and in 12.10.FC2, but fails in 12.10.FC3. SELECT A.tabid, (SELECT SUM(B.collength * A.rowsize) FROM syscolumns B WHERE B.tabid = A.tabid) FROM systables A WHERE A.tabid = 1; 294: The column (tabid) must be in the GROUP BY list. with the GROUP BY SELECT A.tabid, (SELECT SUM(B.collength * A.rowsize) FROM syscolumns B WHERE B.tabid = A.tabid) FROM systables A WHERE A.tabid = 1 GROUP BY 1; the AF has the following stack: (oninit) afstack (oninit) mt_ex_throw_sig (oninit) afsig_handler (Linux) <signal frame> (oninit) rdatavalSmint (oninit) ev_column (oninit) new_eval (oninit) next_row (oninit) get_first_row_from_producer (oninit) ordered_group_by_next (oninit) getrow (oninit) fetchrow (oninit) exfetch (oninit) sql_nfetch (oninit) sq_nfetch (oninit) sqmain (oninit) spawn_thread (oninit) th_init_initgls (oninit) startup | |

Local Fix: | |
If the order of the columns in the SUM() function is changed, the query completes correctly. SELECT A.tabid, (SELECT SUM(A.rowsize * B.collength) FROM syscolumns B WHERE B.tabid = A.tabid) FROM systables A WHERE A.tabid = 1; | |
