Problem IC66252 | Status: Closed |
DB2 INSTANCE ENDS ABNORMALLY COMPILING QUERY WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF UNIONS | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
Compiling a query with a large number of UNIONs may result in a stack overflow and termination of the DB2 instance. The call stack looks similar to this example from Linux: 0000002A97833854 _Z24sqlnq_process_connect_byP9sqlnq_qtbP3loc + 0x001c (/ms/dist/ibmdb2/PROJ/ds/9.5.4.4/.exec/x86_64.linux.2.6.glibc.2. 3/lib64/libdb2e.so.1) 0000002A97835D77 _Z24sqlnq_process_connect_byP9sqlnq_qtbP3loc + 0x253f (/ms/dist/ibmdb2/PROJ/ds/9.5.4.4/.exec/x86_64.linux.2.6.glibc.2. 3/lib64/libdb2e.so.1) 0000002A97835D77 _Z24sqlnq_process_connect_byP9sqlnq_qtbP3loc + 0x253f (/ms/dist/ibmdb2/PROJ/ds/9.5.4.4/.exec/x86_64.linux.2.6.glibc.2. 3/lib64/libdb2e.so.1) 0000002A97835D77 _Z24sqlnq_process_connect_byP9sqlnq_qtbP3loc + 0x253f (/ms/dist/ibmdb2/PROJ/ds/9.5.4.4/.exec/x86_64.linux.2.6.glibc.2. 3/lib64/libdb2e.so.1) ... For this problem to occur, the DB2_COMPATIBILITY_VECTOR registry variable must have the hierarchical query bit set (bit 4), e.g.: DB2_COMPATIBILITY_VECTOR=08 or DB2_COMPATIBILITY_VECTOR=ORA But the query does not necessarily have to use hierarchical queries (i.e. a CONNECT BY clause). | |

Local Fix: | |
Disable hierarchical queries if not needed by unsetting bit 4 in DB2_COMPATIBILITY_VECTOR. Alternatively, rewrite the query to reduce the number of UNIONs. | |
