                 Key: DERBY-2459
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2459
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 10.2.2.1
         Environment: Java 1.5.0_06-b05 on Linux Ubuntu 5.10. Derby version=
 10.2.2
            Reporter: Lars Gr=C3=A5mark


When an order by clause involves a CASE-expression as seen below, a NullPoi=
nterException is thrown. The error only occurs when two select statements a=
re combined in a union (or union all).

select t1.id, CASE WHEN t2.value IS NOT NULL THEN t2.value ELSE t1.value EN=
D
from A1 t1
left outer join B1 t2 ON t2.id =3D t1.ref

union all

select t1.id, CASE WHEN t2.value IS NOT NULL THEN t2.value ELSE t1.value EN=
D
from A2 t1
left outer join B2 t2 ON t2.id =3D t1.ref

order by CASE WHEN t2.value IS NOT NULL THEN t2.value ELSE t1.value END


--Use the following statement to reproduce the problem:

create table A1
(
   id char(1)
  ,value int
  ,ref char(1)
);

create table A2
(
   id char(1)
  ,value int
  ,ref char(1)
);

create table B1
(
   id char(1)
  ,value int
);

create table B2
(
   id char(1)
  ,value int
);


insert into A1 (id, value, ref) values ('a', 12, 'e');
insert into A1 (id, value, ref) values ('b', 1, null);
insert into A2 (id, value, ref) values ('c', 3, 'g');
insert into A2 (id, value, ref) values ('d', 8, null);

insert into B1 (id, value) values ('e', 4);
insert into B1 (id, value) values ('f', 2);
insert into B2 (id, value) values ('g', 5);
