product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
A query being compiled that has a local predicate (LOCPRD) with an empty string literal, i.e., '', may cause the instance to abend if the following conditions are satisfied: 1) The column (COMPCOL) in LOCPRD is equivalent to another column (OTHCOL), e.g., via a join 2) OTHCOL is also involved in a local predicate (OTHLOCPRD) 3) LOCPRD is either an equi-join or non-equi-join predicate 4) OTHLOCPRD is an equi-join predicate 5) OTHCOL and COMPCOL are both string-type columns The stack trace from such an abend will look something like: sqlrxcp1 sqlnr_seldel_test sqlnr_upddelpd_cond sqlnr_seq sqlnr_rcc sqlnr_magic_detail_action ... | |

Local Fix: | |
Manually rewrite the query by adjusting the empty strings in the2 predicates involved to have the same length as the columns they are being compared against using spaces, e.g., VARCHAR_4_COL = '' can be safely adjusted to: VARCHAR_4_COL = ' ' | |
