Problem description: | |
Certain queries can result in a SQL1224 error or instance shutdown when the query contains an OR predicate with multiple subquery operations. In particular the query must contain the following constructs: 1) An OR predicate is present in the WHERE or ON clause of any sub-select within the query. 2) At least one operand of the OR is a quantified = predicate using the ANY/SOME qualifier or a single column IN subquery predicate such as '<expression> IN <subquery>', '<expression> = ANY(<subquery>)', or '<expression> = SOME(<subquery>)'. 3) The <expression> referenced as left hand operand of the quantified = predicate or IN subquery predicate from condition (2) is a complex expression containing a quantified, IN subquery or EXISTS subquery predicate. Two example queries are show below with an explanation of what parts of the query can be used to identify this issue. Example 1 1. SELECT * 2. FROM A 3. WHERE a.C1 = 1 4. OR 5. CASE 6. WHEN A.C1 IN 7. (SELECT DISTINCT B.C1 8. FROM B 9. ) 10. THEN A.C2 11. ELSE 2 12. END 13. IN 14. (SELECT DISTINCT C.C1 15. FROM C 16. ); Lines 3-16 define an OR predicate in the WHERE clause satisfying condition 1. Lines 13-16 are a single column IN subquery predicate within the OR predicate satisfying condition 2. Lines 5 through 11 are a complex expression with an IN subquery predicate satisfying condition 3. Example 2 1. SELECT * 2. FROM A 3. WHERE a.C1 = 1 4. OR 5. CASE 6. WHEN EXISTS 7. (SELECT 1 8. FROM B 9. WHERE A.c1=b.c1 10. ) 11. THEN A.C2 12. ELSE 2 13. END 14. = ANY 15. (SELECT DISTINCT C.C1 16. FROM C 17. ); Lines 3-17 define an OR predicate in the WHERE clause satisfying condition 1. Lines 14-17 show a quantified = predicate within the OR predicate satisfying condition 2. Lines 5-12 are a complex expression with an EXISTS subquery predicate satisfying condition 3. | |

Local Fix: | |
1) Convert the single column IN subquery predicate into a multiple column IN subquery predicate. As in example 1 above we add lines 5, 14 and 17 shown below 1. SELECT * 2. FROM A 3. WHERE a.C1 = 1 4. OR 5. ( 6. CASE 7. WHEN A.C1 IN 8. (SELECT DISTINCT B.C1 9. FROM B 10. ) 11. THEN A.C2 12. ELSE 2 13. END 14. ,1) 15. IN 16. (SELECT DISTINCT C.C1 17. ,1 18. FROM C 19. ); 2) For a quantified = predicate using the ANY or SOME quantification this is a synonym for a single column IN subquery. Convert the quantified = predicate to a multicolumn IN subquery predicate as shown above. | |
