Christian d'Heureuse commented on DERBY-2002:
---------------------------------------------

> The CASE expression is a conforming SQL language described in the SQL:2003 spec.
> So the implementation is trying to process a conforming SQL language in a nonconforming
> manner, ...

I even don't agree with that.
A CASE statement with all NULL values violates syntax rule 3.
Therefore the expression
    case when 1=2 then NULL when 1=3 then NULL else NULL end;
is syntactically not conforming, because it breaks a syntax rule.
Therefore this CASE expression is non-conforming SQL.
