DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC87073 Status: Closed

XQUERY MAY RETURN INCORRECT RESULT WHEN WHERE CLAUSE PREDICATE HAS CERTAIN
FORMAT AND XML INDEX IS USED

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
xrquery may return incorrect results when the following 
conditions are all met: 
1. There is XML index created on xpath expression, called 
"xpath_exp". 
2. XQUERY contains a comparison WHERE predicate "a_variable" 
<comp_op> "xpath_exp". 
2.1. "a_variable" is a variable specified by LET or FOR clause. 
It is bound to expression(s) that casts a literal value to XML 
type. 
2.2 <comp_op> is one out of  {>, >=, <=, <}. 
2.3 "xpath_exp" is placed at predicate right side.

****************************************************************
Local Fix:
(1) Change XQUERY statement. Identify predicates falling into 
condition 2's format. Rewrite predicate to "xpath_exp" 
<reverse_comp_op> "a_variable". 
(2) Drop XML index. 
(3) If "a_variable" is from LET clause, substitute "a_variable" 
with constant in comparison predicate, i.e.  "<xml_type_cast> 
<literal_value> <comp_op> "xpath_exp".
