DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66760 Status: Closed

DELETING DATA FROM MULTIDIMENSIONAL CLUSTERED (MDC) TABLES RETURNS
INACCURATE RESULTS DUE TO DEFERRED ROLLOUT PROCESSING

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
A mass delete of data on MDC tables results in corrupted RID 
indexes if: 
 
-the CURRENT MDC ROLLOUT MODE special register is set to 
DEFERRED, or 
-the DB2_MDC_ROLLOUT registry variable is set to DEFERRED. 
 
After deferred index cleanup is finished the RID indexes have 
extra keys. This returns inaccurate results if the optimizer 
chooses an affected RID index to select from the table. Index 
corruption also leads to database shutdown when the data pages 
or records are not found. 
 
 
 
Example: 
This example shows an MDC table with a Block index and a RID 
index: 
 
 
CREATE TABLE "TIXMDC"  ( 
                  "REQUEST" VARCHAR(90) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT ' 
' , 
                  "DATAPAKID" VARCHAR(18) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT 
'000000' , 
                  "RECORD" INTEGER NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT 0) 
  ORGANIZE BY ( 
                  ( "REQUEST" ) ) 
                ; 
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "TIXMDC~0" ON "TIXMDC" 
                ("REQUEST" ASC, 
                "DATAPAKID" ASC, 
                "RECORD" ASC) 
 
 
db2 "select INDNAME from syscat.indexes where 
tabname='"TIXMDC"'"

After running a mass delete on this MDC table with 
the DB2_MDC_ROLLOUT=DEFER registry variable enabled, all rows 
should 
have been deleted and a select count(*) should return zero rows. 
 
 
Results are correct when using the block index: 
select request,count(*) from "TIXMDC" group by request
