Problem description: | |
Inaccurate NLEAF statistic for partitioned indexes of a partitioned table may lead to non-optimal access plans. With DB2 V9,7 indexes for a partitioned table can be created as partitioned or non-partitioned. For partitioned indexes, the NLEAF statistic may be inaccurate. For example, a table with the following per-partition statistics: select datapartitionid, numrids, nleaf from syscat.indexpartitions where tabschema='IC69509' and tabname='T1' DATAPARTITIONID NUMRIDS NLEAF --------------- -------------------- -------------------- 0 1000 334 1 2000 667 2 3000 1000 3 4000 1334 4 0 1 5 0 1 may have an NLEAF of 1: select nleaf from syscat.indexes where tabschema='IC69509' and tabname='T1' NLEAF -------------------- 1 An inaccurate NLEAF statistics can affect query performance from non-optimal access plans. | |

Local Fix: | |
Manually update NLEAF of affected partitioned indexes to a more accurate value. In the example above, a more accurate NLEAF is the average of the non empty partitions: UPDATE SYSCAT.INDEXES SET NLEAF=834 where tabschema='IC69509' and tabname='T1'; | |
