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). | |
