Problem description: | |
An SQL might cause instance crash at sqlrifis2. An example stack trace might be like below: sqlrifis2 sqlifnxt sqlirdk sqldIndexFetch sqldRowFetch This problem can happen if all the following conditions are met: a) SORT memory is low b) The query is run and it fails with sql0973 due to lack of sort memory. Users can see the out of memory error in the db2diag.log as below: 2013-05-14-14.38.00.377730 I484339A914 LEVEL: Warning PID : 7865 TID : 4394300991760 PROC : db2sysc INSTANCE: db2inst1 NODE : 000 DB : SAMPLE APPHDL : 0-11465 APPID: 192.168.1.1.2080.130514051704 AUTHID : DB2INST1 HOSTNAME: host01 EDUID : 713 EDUNAME: db2agent (SAMPLE) FUNCTION: DB2 UDB, SQO Memory Management, sqloCreateMemorySubPool, probe:130 MESSAGE : ZRC=0x8B0F0012=-1961951214=SQLO_NOMEM_SHARED_SORT "No memory available in 'Shared Sort Heap'" DIA8300C A memory heap error has occurred. DATA #1 : String, 52 bytes Unable to allocate memory for the initial pool size. c) The same query is run again soon after (while it is still cached in the SQL workspace). The problem is most likely to be seen for a query with an access plan that contains a RIDSCAN over SORT. The typical example here would be a plan that has something like this (example exfmt output): RIDSCN ( 14) 319827 1 | 3000 SORT ( 15) 319827 1 | 3000 IXSCAN ( 16) 10.0149 1 However, the problem is not limited to just plans like the above. Any SORT that is "simple", like a RID sort as above, or a sort of just an integer column, has a chance to encounter the issue. | |
