DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63059 Status: Closed

AN ALTER INDEX STATEMENT FAILS TO CHANGE THE COMPRESSION ATTRIBUTE
FOR PHYSICAL XML INDEX

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When an XML index is initially created by default or with the 
"compress no" clause, and if an alter index statement is run to 
update a XML index with clause "compress yes",  this alter 
command completes, but it does not actually change the 
compression attribute to "yes" for physical XML index. 
 
For example, 
CREATE TABLE T2 (  ID INTEGER, XMLDOC XML); 
create index xix_d1_t2 on T2 (XMLDOC) GENERATE KEY USING 
XMLPATTERN '/a/b' as SQL DOUBLE; 
By default,  XML index xix_d1_t2  has compression NO when 
checking SYSCAT.INDEXES table. 
SELECT INDNAME, COMPRESSION, PCTPAGESSAVED 
FROM  SYSCAT.INDEXESWHERE TABNAME = 'T2' ORDER BY INDNAME; 
 
After ALTER statement "alter index xix_d1_t2 compress yes;" 
completes,  the compression attribute of XML logic index shows 
"Y",  but its physical index's compression attribute still 
shows"N".
