    Description

      Test case below illustrates the issue. I create a table with a few lines with 2 nullable columns fld1 and fld2. I perform a number of tests with the <=> operator

      drop table manu_test;

      CREATE TABLE `manu_test` (
      id tinyint unsigned NOT NULL,
      fld1 tinyint default null,
      fld2 tinyint default null
      ) ENGINE=Columnstore DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

      INSERT INTO `manu_test`
      (`id`,
      `fld1`,
      `fld2`)
      VALUES
      (1,0,0),
      (2,0,1),
      (3,0,null),
      (4,null,0),
      (5,null,1),
      (6,null,null),
      (7,1,0),
      (8,1,1),
      (9,1,null)
      ;

      I execute the following query:

      SELECT
      id,
      fld1,
      fld2,
      CASE
      WHEN ((fld1 <=> 0)) THEN 1
      ELSE 0
      END as test1,
      CASE
      WHEN (ISNULL(`fld1`) || (`fld1` <=> 0)) THEN 1
      ELSE 0
      END as test2,
      CASE
      WHEN (((ISNULL(`fld1`)) || (`fld1` = 0 OR (fld1 is null and 0 is null)))) THEN 1 – a = b OR (a IS NULL AND b IS NULL)
      ELSE 0
      END as test3,
      CASE
      WHEN ((fld2 <=> 0)) THEN 1
      ELSE 0
      END as test4,
      CASE
      WHEN (ISNULL(`fld2`) || (`fld2` <=> 0)) THEN 1
      ELSE 0
      END as test5,
      CASE
      WHEN (((ISNULL(`fld2`)) || (`fld2` = 0 OR (fld1 is null and 0 is null)))) THEN 1 – a = b OR (a IS NULL AND b IS NULL)
      ELSE 0
      END as test6
      FROM
      manu_test;

      I get the results attached. Clearly test5 and test6 should have the same results. And it works fine if I create an InnoDB table.

      The tests on the column fld1 are all correct. But test 5 ( CASE
      WHEN (ISNULL(`fld2`) || (`fld2` <=> 0)) THEN 1
      ELSE 0
      END) fails (returns 1 in every instance.

      However if I replace <=> by its definition in the mariadb documentation (test6), it works.
