Platform:

Fixed In:

Multiple set-valued comparison predicates conjoined with & produce inconsistent results

Due to the design of the query code, multiple predicates that are conjoined with &, that query on the same set-valued collection path, and which use a comparison rather than equality type operator, may produce inconsistent results.

Note that queries that can be restructured by optimization to remove the &, or reduce the predicates to one for the collection path, will not have this problem.

Workaround

We recommend avoiding set-valued indexes in general.  Single-predicate queries, or queries that use =, ~=, ==, and ~~ are not affected by this case.
