DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66098 Status: Closed

COMPRESSION RATIO VALUE IN SYSCAT.INDEXES NOT VERY ACCURATE WHEN USING
RANGE PARTITIONED TABLES AND PARTITIONED INDEXES

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
Enhance runstats to provide more accurate compression ratio 
information (stored in syscat.indexes) 
when dealing with range partitioned indexes with many sparsely 
populated partitions. 
 
When a large number of range partitions in an index are empty 
the overall compression ratio is 
lower than expected.  However, if the sparsely populated ranges 
are eliminated from the 
calculation the compression ratio is more accurate.

information (stored in syscat.indexes) 
when dealing with range partitioned indexes with many sparsely 
populated partitions.
Workaround

Comment
syscat.indexes view information was improved to return a more 
accurate copression ratio information
