Subject: [SQL] Problem with coalesce..

Hello,

Was wondering if such a call is unsupported, or a bug?

7.0.2 (postgresql, linux redhat 7.0)

SELECT COALESCE ((SELECT NULL,1)

returns a 1, correct..

however..

SELECT COALESCE ((SELECT CURVALUE FROM TABLEKEYS WHERE TABLENAME = 'BUYER'),1)

returns a "UNKNOWN expression type 501"

SELECT CURVALUE FROM TABLEKEYS WHERE TABLENAME = 'BUYER'; returns a '0'

Thanks..

George
