    Description

      There is an inconsistency in the results when using the COALESCE function.

      Set up table t0:

      CREATE TABLE t0 (c0 BIT, c1 BIT);
      INSERT INTO t0 VALUES (0, 1);
      

      Use COALESCE in a SELECT query:

      (SELECT (COALESCE(t0.c0, t0.c1)) AS c0 FROM t0);
      --Result: 48
      

      Store the result of COALESCE in another table t1 and SELECT:

      CREATE TABLE t1 AS (SELECT (COALESCE(t0.c0, t0.c1)) AS c0 FROM t0);
      SELECT * FROM t1;
      --Result: 0
      

      The result should be consistent regardless of whether the result is directly selected or stored in another table.
