DB2 - Problem description
Problem IC81859 | Status: Closed |
ESTIMATED CARDINALITY OF UNNEST FUNCTION FOR ARRAY DATATYPE IS NOT USED DURING QUERY PLANNING | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
The DB2 optimizer uses the maximum cardinality of an array during plan generation. In many cases the maximum cardinality is not a good indicator of the real array size, especially when arrays are used in stored procedures or packages. As a result, queries that use the UNNEST function with an array as input may have poor plans due to the high maximum array cardinality. | |
Problem Summary: | |
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All users on DB2 v97 FP5 and earlier * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See Error Description * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to DB2 v97 FP6 * **************************************************************** | |
Local Fix: | |
As a workaround, the user may specify an estimated cardinality for the array by updating the statistics of the array cast function in SYSSTAT.ROUTINES table: db2 "update sysstat.routines set cardinality=<cardinality_of_array> where routineschema='<schema_name_of_array>' and routinename='<array_name>'" Dynamic statements will use the new cardinality at the next compile. Static packages will need to be rebound to use the new cardinality. | |
