Problem description: | |
CASE expressions containing a large number of WHEN clauses which are used in a <, <=, <>, =, >= or > predicate or OR predicates containing a very large number of AND subterms can consume a large amounts of memory during statement compilation. This can cause SQL0101N errors if STMTHEAP, DATABASE_MEMORY or INSTANCE_MEMORY is limited. Examining the text for the failing query, if you find a CASE expression involving more then 100 WHEN clauses involved in a relational predicate or OR predicates with more then 10000 subterms then this APAR may be applicable. | |
Problem Summary: | |
Users Affected: All users prior to V97 FP1 Problem Description: CASE EXPRESSION IN PREDICATES OR LARGE OR PREDICATES MAY CAUSE SQL0101 ERROR WHEN STMTHEAP IS SMALL /INSTANCE MEMORY IS LIMITED LOCAL FIX: 1) Increase the STMTHEAP database configuration parameter, or if STMTHEAP is already large or set to AUTOMATIC then check the DATABASE_MEMORY and/or INSTANCE_MEMORY to ensure those limits are not impacting the amount of STMTHEAP which can be use. 2) Modify the query to simplify the CASE or OR predicate. 3) If the query contains a large CASE expression in a predicate causing the memory problems then lower the query optimization level for this query to 0 or 1. | |
