DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC99051 Status: Closed

RUNSTATS PROFILE DOESN'T ALLOW TO EXCLUDE COLUMNS FROM DISTRIBUT ION
STATISTICS COLLECTION (NUM_FREQVALUES OR NUM_QUANTILES = 0)

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
Optimizer profile is not saved properly if we want to exclude 
one or more columns from distribution statistics. 
 
Consider following example: 
$ db2 get db cfg for sample | grep -E 
'NUM_FREQVALUES|NUM_QUANTILES' 
Number of frequent values retained     (NUM_FREQVALUES) = 10 
Number of quantiles retained            (NUM_QUANTILES) = 20 
 
$ db2 "RUNSTATS ON TABLE SYSIBM.SYSTABLES ON ALL COLUMNS WITH 
DISTRIBUTION ON ALL COLUMNS AND COLUMNS (CREATOR NUM_FREQVALUES 
10 NUM_QUANTILES 10, NAME NUM_FREQVALUES 0 NUM_QUANTILES 0) 
DEFAULT NUM_FREQVALUES 50 NUM_QUANTILES 50 AND DETAILED INDEXES 
ALL ALLOW WRITE ACCESS SET PROFILE ONLY" 
 
$ db2 -x "SELECT CAST(STATISTICS_PROFILE AS VARCHAR(250)) FROM 
SYSCAT.TABLES WHERE TABSCHEMA = 'SYSIBM' AND TABNAME = 
'SYSTABLES'" 
RUNSTATS ON TABLE "SYSIBM"."SYSTABLES" ON ALL COLUMNS WITH 
DISTRIBUTION ON ALL COLUMNS AND COLUMNS ("CREATOR" 
NUM_FREQVALUES 10 NUM_QUANTILES 10) DEFAULT NUM_FREQVALUES 50 
NUM_QUANTILES 50 AND DETAILED INDEXES ALL 
 
As we can see, non-default distribution statistics profile is 
saved for custom value (10 for CREATOR), but it is not if we 
want to completely exclude a given column (0 for NAME).
