DB2 - Problem description
| Problem IC96922 | Status: Closed | 
| USER-DEFINED FUNCTION WITH INDEX EXTENSION EXPLOITATION MIGHT RETURN INCORRECT RESULTS IF INDEX IS NOT PRESENT | |
| product: | |
| DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
| The following is an example of a UDF which might return 
incorrect results: 
CREATE FUNCTION PSearch (a pair, b pair) 
   RETURNS Integer 
   LANGUAGE SQL 
   DETERMINISTIC 
   NO EXTERNAL ACTION 
   PREDICATES 
( 
     WHEN = 1 
       SEARCH BY EXACT INDEX EXTENSION PairExt 
         WHEN KEY (a) USE  RetrieveKey (b) 
         WHEN KEY (b) USE  RetrieveKey (a) 
) 
   RETURN (0) 
 
The following is a query using the UDF as a predicate: 
SELECT * FROM mytable AS a 
WHERE PSearch(a.column, 1) = 1 
 
If the index does not exist, the SEARCH BY expression is not 
processed and the function PSearch returns the value 0 which 
results in no rows being returned.  Due to the error in function 
processing, all table rows might be returned. | |
