Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (ODATA-166) Inconsistent lifted operators for $filter
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-166?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=31988#action_31988 ] Matthew Borges commented on ODATA-166: -------------------------------------- I 100% agree with that; 3-value logic definitely complicates things. And if one of the goals of OData is to keep things simple, 3-value logic is probably not the correct approach to take. I am definitely fine with using 2-value logic as long as we make the results consistent. In which case I still think proposal 1) from the post on "16/Dec/12 04:47 PM" has the most consistent treatment of nulls and simplest to understand. > Inconsistent lifted operators for $filter > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: ODATA-166 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-166 > Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OData Protocol v1.0 > Affects Versions: WD01 > Environment: [Proposed] > Reporter: Matthew Borges > Priority: Minor > Fix For: WD01 > > > I didn't see any mention of lifted operators in the working drafts. We should define how each operator behaves when one (or both) operands is null. > With that said, the V3 spec (section 2.2.3.6.1.1.5) is inconsistent with it's treatment of null: > - For equality operators, null eq null is true and null eq <anything not null> is false (i.e. the result is true or false) > - Any relational operators when compared with null are false (i.e. the result is true or false) > - This implies that null ge null and null le null is false which is inconsistent with null eq null is true > - Logical operators treat null as false (i.e. the result is true or false) > - Unary operators are null if the operand is null (i.e. in the case of not, the result is true, false, or null) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
