DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2

A complex SQL statement, requiring repartitioned joins in a DPF 
system, might produce wrong results if the following conditions 
are met: 
 
- The SQL statement includes two or more joins that are not 
collocated 
- At least one of the joins chosen by the optimizer is a 
repartitioned join, identifiable by the presence of a TQ 
operator somewhere below both inputs to the join 
- The join columns are of short-string type (CHAR, VARCHAR) with 
differing lengths. 
 
Note that the presence of these conditions does not always lead 
to incorrect results.

You can attempt to avoid the repartition join by creating one or 
more materialized query tables (MQT) on each table referenced in 
the join, where the MQT is defined with a hash distribution key 
on the join columns.

The problem was first fixed in DB2 version 10.5.0.5.
