Problem IC71993
|
Status: Closed |
SELECT SQL STATEMENT WILL RETURN DIFFERENT RESULTS BY SETTING CURRENT DEGREE =1 AND CURRENT DEGREE =ANY |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The problem can only occur when INTRA_PARALLEL is ON and the
query degree is > 1. The SQL statement itself must have DISTINCT
operation above non-pushdownable predicate, for example,
SELECT DISTINCT ... GROUP BY ... HAVING COUNT(column) > 1 .
In such cases the optimizer may choose to do a UNIQUE SORT and
place it
before the predicate is applied.
The problem can be determined by using db2exfmt tool. The steps
are listed as follows:
1) db2 set current explain mode explain
2) db2 -tvf <sql_script> (eg: sql.ddl)
3) db2 set current explain mode no
4) db2exfmt -d <DB_NAME> -g TIC -w -1 -n % -s % -# 0 -o
<FILE_NAME> (eg: exfmt.txt)
The similar following entries will be written in the formatted
explain table file in step 4.
In database context section, the intra-parallelism is set on. In
access plan graph section, the Query Degree is >1 .
The uniqueness flag of the SORT(13) operator before the
FILTER(11) predicate is set to TRUE.
