product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
This problem affects SQL queries on nicknames which reflect to tables on remote database. It might happen only when all of the necessary conditions are met: 1. References nickname whose remote source table has index. 2. The federated query has an OR predicate. 3. All OR subterms have comparison predicates of format "nickname.column <relop> literal", where <relop> is "<", "<=", "=", ">=", or ">" . 4. All OR subterms reference nickanme column whose remote counterpart is the leading index key. 5. Some but not all OR subterms references non-leading index key. SQL queries on local tables are not affected. To verify the problem, generate db2exfmt output file, search "Remote statement" and check if non-leading index key predicate is added there. | |
