DB2 - Problem description

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);
