> {code}
> select csmallint, count(distinct(csmallint)) from alltypesorc group by 
> csmallint limit 3;
> {code}
> produces:
> {noformat}
> NULL  0
> -16379        1
> -16373        1
> {noformat}
> There are records in table with NULL values; however the count in this case 
> should be 1, not 0, it seems
