Identifying Defects

Before you report a bug, please read this document carefully to confirm that you should really be able to do whatever you are trying to do. If it is not clear from the documentation whether you can do something, please report that as well: it is a bug in the documentation. If you find that the program does something different from what the documentation says, that is a bug. Typically, bugs include (but are not limited to) the following situations:

• The program throws a fatal error and terminates.

• The program produces incorrect output for any given input.

• The program rejects valid input (valid input as defined by the documentation).

• The program accepts invalid input without any warning or error message.

Being slow or resource-intensive is not necessarily a bug. You may need to carefully read the documentation to tune your application. Failure to conform to the SQL standard is also not necessarily a bug, unless the documentation explicitly states that the feature is compatible.
