Problem IC85422
|
Status: Closed |
QUERY WITH A UNION AND TWO CORRELATED BRANCHES MIGHT RETURN INCORRECT RESULTS IN PARTITIONED DATABASE ENVIRONMENTS |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
If you are using the partitioned database environment and
your query satisfies the following conditions, then the results
returned might be incorrect
1. there is a table, T1, that is hash distributed across two or
more database partitions;
2. T1 is correlated to multiple branches below a UNION;
3. each branch of the UNION is correlated to at least one
different column in T1;
4. one of the branches is correlated to the hash distribution
key of T1;
5. the columns in the select list of each UNION branch includes
the correlation column.
The following is an example of a query that satisfies the above
conditions, where T1 is hash distributed on column X:
SELECT *
FROM T1,
TABLE(SELECT X FROM T2 WHERE X = T1.X
UNION ALL
SELECT Y FROM T3 WHERE Y = T1.Y); |
