Intersect set: Returns left-only keys instead of common keys · case 01

The query violates its result contract: returns left-only keys instead of common keys.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Returns left-only keys instead of common keys. The faulty SQL is: SELECT k FROM a EXCEPT SELECT k FROM b

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the required relational semantics: Return distinct k values present in both relations, with NULL treated as a set value. Correct SQL: SELECT k FROM a INTERSECT SELECT k FROM b

Unsuccessful approach: The alternative query still fails because it preserves duplicate left occurrences in a set intersection. Attempted SQL: SELECT a.k FROM a WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM b WHERE b.k IS a.k)

Case contract

Return distinct k values present in both relations, with NULL treated as a set value. Inputs are finite relations a=rows and b=refs with columns (id,k,v,w,flag,parent). IDs are unique within each relation, None is SQL NULL, keys are ASCII strings or None, and other values are integers or None. Return an unordered result bag as lists sorted by repr, preserving multiplicity unless explicitly distinct.

Why this case matters

Executes actual in-memory SQLite relational semantics. The fixtures exercise empty inputs, nullable groups, duplicate facts, known zero, negative values, peer ties and partition boundaries. This models the specified query contract, not optimizer performance, disk durability or a complete migration transaction.

Verification & scope

This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
