Problem IC63255 Status: Closed

USAGE OF MQTENFORCE GUIDELINE COULD CAUSE THE OPTIMIZER TO FAVOUR A
SUB-OPTIMAL STARJOIN PLAN

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
With an Optimizer profile enabled and containing a guideline 
with 
the MQTENFORCE element, the Optimizer may favour a sub-optimal 
star-join plan. 
 
This can occur if the there are matchable non-group-by 
Materialized Query Table(s) (MQT) present in the schema and are 
specified for enforcement either explicitly using the NAME 
attribute or generally via the TYPE attribute of the MQTENFORCE 
guideline element.

****************************************************************
Local Fix:
1) Disable the Optimizer profile 
2) Specify a better plan using an Optimizer hint 
3) When a range of MQTs is specified using the MQTENFORCE 
element's TYPE attribute, explicitly specify all MQT(s) except 
the problematic one using the MQTENFORCE element's NAME 
attribute
