LARGE SORT HEAP USAGE WHEN 0-CARDINALITY INDICATED ON SORT OPERATION | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
DB2 will use large the fully confirgured amount of SORT HEAP when 0-cardinality is indicated on a SORT operation. The issue can be identified by examining the query access plan, and looking for a SORT with a 0 estimated cardinality. Typically a 0-cardinality function, table, global temporary table, or session temporary table can cause this plan. In Access plan : 3) SORT : (Sort) Cumulative Total Cost: 22.6971 Cumulative CPU Cost: 126925 Cumulative I/O Cost: 2.9975 Cumulative Re-Total Cost: 0.0097435 Cumulative Re-CPU Cost: 34379.9 Cumulative Re-I/O Cost: 0 Cumulative First Row Cost: 22.6971 Estimated Bufferpool Buffers: 2.9975 Arguments: --------- BUFFSORT: (Sort for Buffering Rows) TRUE DUPLWARN: (Duplicates Warning flag) FALSE NUMROWS : (Estimated number of rows) 0 <--------------------------------0 cardinality estimated. ROWWIDTH: (Estimated width of rows) 424 SORTKEY : (Sort Key column) NONE TEMPSIZE: (Temporary Table Page Size) 4096 UNIQUE : (Uniqueness required flag) FALSE | |
