DELETING DATA FROM MULTIDIMENSIONAL CLUSTERED (MDC) TABLES RETURNS INACCURATE RESULTS DUE TO DEFERRED ROLLOUT PROCESSING | |

DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
A mass delete of data on MDC tables results in corrupted RID indexes if: -the CURRENT MDC ROLLOUT MODE special register is set to DEFERRED, or -the DB2_MDC_ROLLOUT registry variable is set to DEFERRED. After deferred index cleanup is finished the RID indexes have extra keys. This returns inaccurate results if the optimizer chooses an affected RID index to select from the table. Index corruption also leads to database shutdown when the data pages or records are not found. Example: This example shows an MDC table with a Block index and a RID index: CREATE TABLE "TIXMDC" ( "REQUEST" VARCHAR(90) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT ' ' , "DATAPAKID" VARCHAR(18) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT '000000' , "RECORD" INTEGER NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT 0) ORGANIZE BY ( ( "REQUEST" ) ) ; CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "TIXMDC~0" ON "TIXMDC" ("REQUEST" ASC, "DATAPAKID" ASC, "RECORD" ASC) db2 "select INDNAME from syscat.indexes where tabname='"TIXMDC"'" INDNAME ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- SQL091123160531740 TIXMDC~0 2 record(s) selected. select request,count(*) from "TIXMDC" group by request REQUEST 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- ----------- REQU_4FSYB8OOVIO6RH1WP9EPFFR5I 1000000 REQU_4FT0B952HSNW6W36RJLHHFNLI 1000000 REQU_4FSP0LNV38TZJI3IGDPMPIHIU 1000000 REQU_4FSOE2UKEHT1MI1KAMSUUBVHY 1000000 REQU_4FTB36T96RWFQJALNKK5FW65Y 1000000 After running a mass delete on this MDC table with the DB2_MDC_ROLLOUT=DEFER registry variable enabled, all rows should have been deleted and a select count(*) should return zero rows.
