Utralite crashes using subquery with CASE

Former Member

I have a query that causes a crash in Ultralite, both in the iPad and Interactive SQL. The crash began to happen after I installed EBF 3798. Before that, the query was executed without error.

The original query is somewhat complex, but I succeeded in devising a simple query that causes the crash as well.

The query is:

select * from (
    select 
    A.id as i,
       case A.num 
            when 0 then 'a'
            when 1 then 'b'
            when 2 then 'c'
            else 'd'
       end as v,
       v + ' - ' + A.num as s
    from testTable A
) as X(i, v, s)
where i = 1

And the Ultralite database has only one table:

create table testTable
(
     id int primary key,
     num int,
     descr varchar(100)
)

The crash occurs when executing ULConnection's PrepareStatement method. And the table does not need to have any data in it.

If I remove the enclosing select, the problem does not happen again. Also, if remove either column v (the one that contains the case statement) or column s, that concatenates the preceding field with another field from the table, the problem does not occur any longer.

Those solutions are not acceptable, because the outer query is generated at runtime, in other to add extra filters to an existing query.

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for posting this concise repro. I confirm that the crash was fixed in 12.0.1.3803. There was a further bug that your query exposed, and that is now fixed with 12.0.1.3812. I have requested an EBF be released.

And thank you Breck for correcting the query. Indeed, UL does (now) report -157 (conversion error) for 'b -' -> numeric with the original query.

Hi Tim,

Do you have any news about the EBF?

Hello Antonio,

This issue has been reported and fixed underneath CR #723102. The Windows / Mac OS 12.0.1 EBFs have been requested for this issue and are currently being built and tested internally.

If you require an immediate update for when the EBF is released (or a "pre-release" copy for your own testing purposes), we invite you to open a technical support case so that we can discuss this with you directly and properly address your individual business needs.

This should be posted now (build 3819), and also includes proper iPhone 5/Xcode 4.5 support.
