"Ole Willy Tuv" | select
(true and true) true_and_true, (true and false) true_and_false, (true and cast(null as boolean)) true_and_unknown, (false and true) false_and_true, (false and false) false_and_false, (false and cast(null as boolean)) false_and_unknown, (cast(null as boolean) and true) unknown_and_true, (cast(null as boolean) and false) unknown_and_false, (cast(null as boolean) and cast(null as boolean)) unknown_and_unknown from dummy The expression (cast(null as boolean) and false) returns boolean null (Unknown), which is incorrect. The correct value is False. Here's the "Truth table for the AND boolean operator": AND True False Unknown --------------------------------------------- True True False Unknown False False False False Unknown Unknown False Unknown --------------------------------------------- Ole Willy Tuv |

"Ole Willy Tuv" | There's a similar issue with the OR operator:
select (true or true) true_or_true, (true or false) true_or_false, (true or cast(null as boolean)) true_or_unknown, (false or true) false_or_true, (false or false) false_or_false, (false or cast(null as boolean)) false_or_unknown, (cast(null as boolean) or true) unknown_or_true, (cast(null as boolean) or false) unknown_or_false, (cast(null as boolean) or cast(null as boolean)) unknown_or_unknown from dummy The expression (cast(null as boolean) or true) returns null (Unknown), while the correct value is True. Here's the "Truth table for the OR boolean operator": OR True False Unknown --------------------------------------------- True True True True False True False Unknown Unknown True Unknown Unknown --------------------------------------------- Ole Willy Tuv |

"Ole Willy Tuv" | Tim,
<< Great. I think I need the new build before doing any further testing of EDB ![]() Btw, the expression: cast(null as boolean) is a workaround for the missing UNKNOWN boolean literal in EDB SQL (TRUE and FALSE are supported). This is a minor issue, of course. I just made the comment for users getting familiar with the three-valued boolean logic. Ole Willy Tuv |
