Hi,

 

I have a segmentation fault when running an SQL query against a specific table.

I can execute queries like

“select count(*) from <TABLE>”

but the server crashes when I do

“select * from <TABLE> where businessdate = ‘2013-12-18’ limit 100”.

 

MonetDB version:

MonetDB Database Server Toolkit v1.1 (Feb2013-SP5)

The problem is that it tries to de-reference null pointer ‘name’.

The pointer is calculated in BATLocation as  (b->T->heap.filename ? b->T->heap.filename: b->H->heap.filename).

The column in question has type real so as far as I understand there is no heap file for it.

I don’t know if heap.filename should contain NULL or something else.

 

Regards,

Alex Shestakov.
