Problem IC65953 | Status: Closed |
RECURSIVE QUERY WITHOUT INITIALIZATION FULLSELECT HANGS DURING COMPILATION | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
A recursive query that is missing the initialization full select hangs during compilation. Here is an example of such a query: with tab (col) as (select 'const' from tab) select * from tab Because there is no initialization full select, the query would never return any rows. This is a badly written query where the intention was either: a) a recursive query but the initialization full select was merely neglected b) that the table reference 'tab' in the the common table expression full select is a real table. In this case, the table references must be changed or qualified to avoid confusion, e.g.: with A.tab (col) as (select 'const' from B.tab) select * from A.tab | |
