DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC70492 Status: Closed

POSSIBLE NLJOIN QUERY PERFORMANCE ISSUE FROM UNDER COSTED NLJOIN DUE TO BAD
INNER PAGE ESTIMATE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 910 - DB2
Problem description:
When examining an Query Access Plan with a Nested Loop Join, 
usually the cost for the Nested Loop Join will be at least the 
sum of the cost of the outer Query Access Plan and the inner 
Query Access Plan. You may be experiencing a poorly performing 
Query Access Plan that is caused by this APAR if the number of 
I/O's associated with the Nested Loop Join is only a few I/Os 
more then the number of I/Os from the outer Query Access Plan, 
but the inner Query Access Plan has more then a few I/Os 
indicated (typically 1 or 2 I/Os, but it could be more). 
 
The db2exfmt plan segment below shows a Nested Loop Join 
(NLJOIN) with an outer I/O of 0 I/Os, an inner I/O of 91,252 
I/Os, but the Nested Loop Join I/Os of only 3. In this case the 
NLJOIN I/Os should have been at least 91,252 I/Os or close to 
91,252 I/Os.

Local Fix:
One Possible workaround that *may* work is to get detailed stats 
for the columns (frequent value & distribution stats). This will 
cause the join page selectivity code to use a different 
algorithm to compute the filtering.
