C.S. Nirmal J. Fernando commented on DERBY-4406:
------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I found that,
1) "select random() from t order by random()" == "select random() as r from t order by random()" is considered as a valid query in Postgre SQL.


2) "SELECT i*RANDOM() AS R FROM T ORDER BY i*RANDOM()": In Postgre SQL they're ordering this by R.


3)"SELECT i, i*RANDOM() AS R FROM T ORDER BY i*RANDOM() ": In Postgre SQL they're ordering the result set by  i*RANDOM() that means by R.

> If I read the SQL standard correctly, a statement such as "select random() as r from t order by random()" should be treated as "select random() as r from t order by r". Derby does however generate a second, hidden random() column by which the rows are ordered.
> ij> create table t(x int);
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> insert into t values 1,2,3,4,5;
> 5 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> -- wrong result, not ordered by r
> ij> select random() as r from t order by random();
