Problem IC79641 Status: Closed

DB2 MIGHT GIVE A -901 ON QUERY WITH DISTINCT OUTER JOIN AND IS NULL
PREDICATE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
DB2 might give a -901 if the query satisfies the following 
conditions: 
 
1. The query has an outer join between base tables. 
2. The outer join has a DISTINCT. 
3. The output column list from outer join contains one or more 
columns from the null producing side. 
4. There is an IS NULL predicate above the outer join on the 
same column(s) as 3. 
 
eg. 
Select c1 from 
( select DISTINCT t1.c1, t2.c2  < ------------- condition 2,3 
  from t1 left join            <---------------- condition 1 
          t2 
  on t1.c1 = t2.c1) tmp(c1,c2) 
where tmp.c2 is null;      <--------------- condition 4 
 
SQL0901N  The SQL statement failed because of a non-severe 
system error. 
Subsequent SQL statements can be processed.  (Reason "Had 
troubles while 
removing an unreferenced QCL.".)  SQLSTATE=58004
