DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC73288 Status: Closed

INSERT TAKES TOO LONG

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When trying to execute an INSERT statement to a table having 
auto-generated and bit string columns, it is noticed that it 
takes 
 a long time to complete. 
 
This happens if both of the conditions below are met: 
 
  1. it is up to DB2 to generate a value for generated column 
  2. client is trying to insert any value to binary column 
 
For example: 
 
create table N ( 
    i int generated by default as identity (starting from 0, 
increment by 1), 
    c char(1) for bit data); 
 
insert into N (c) values (x'00');
