DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC69666 Status: Closed

DB2 MIGHT CHOOSE A NLJOIN PLAN WITH TBSCAN IN INNER WHICH MIGHT NOT PERFORM
WELL

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
DB2 optimizer might choose a NLJOIN plan with TBSCAN in the 
inner. 
This could occur when the optimizer estimates a very low 
 
cardinality of the outer stream. If the actual cardinality 
is higher than the one estimated by the optimizer, then the 
NLJOIN might not perform 
well. This fix discourages such NLJOIN plans.

Local Fix:
The cardinality of the NLJOIN plan's outer stream can be 
verified by 
comparing it against actual counts. Depending upon the 
situation, the cardinality can be improved in different ways 
by collecting distribution statistics or using advanced 
statistics such 
as column group statistics or statistical views.
