Informix - Problem description

Problem IT37479 Status: Closed

USING TRACE ON IN A STORED PROCEDURE WITH SQL STATEMENT HAVING EXCEPT
CLAUSE CAN CAUSE SEGV ASSERTIONS

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 
Problem description:
If you have a stored procedure where TRACE has been enabled and
certain kinds of SQL statements may trigger assertion failures.

Here is stack trace for the asserting thread:

afstack
afhandler
affail_interface
mt_ex_throw_sig
afsig_handler

elist_trace
elist_trace
slist_trace.part.6
elist_trace
elist_trace
elist_trace
slist_trace.part.6
qblock_trace
runproc
udrlm_spl_execute
udrlm_exec_routine
udr_execute
ip_fetch
getrow
fetchrow
exfetch
sql_nfetch
sq_nfetch
sqmain
spawn_thread
th_init_initgls
startup

In the af file, in the onstat -g ses  portion, you
should see that the onstat -g ses command reports "changing data
structure forced command termination", which indicates that the
onstat command also encountered a SEGV when it was attempting to
report the current SQL being run in the stored procedure, like
this:

Current SQL statement (2) in procedure db1:proc1
   proc-counter 0x4d81ae68 opcode CURSOR

select *
  from  table((: 129
    (select c.col1
      from c , r
      where (and (= c.filtcol1, proc_variable), (= c.col1,
r.col1)))) )  as ltab_19414
  where (not (exists
    (select *
      from  table((: 129
        (select c.col1
          from c, ch
          where (and (and (= c.jcol1, ch.jcol1), (=
ch.const_col1, "SOMECONST")), (>= ( to_date, col_dt,
"%m/%d/%Y"), proc_date)))) )  as rtab_26991
      where (: -515 Changing data structure forced
command termination.

The above SQL is a transformation of what happens when the SQL
statement uses an EXCEPT clause, so in the SPL code,  SQL
statement looks like this:

foreach
            SELECT c.col1 into procvar2 FROM  c, r
            WHERE c.filtcol1  = proc_variable
            AND c.col1 = r.col1
            EXCEPT
            SELECT {+INDEX(ch, idx1)} c.col1 FROM c, ch
            WHERE c.jcol1 = ch.jcol1
            AND ch.const_col1 = 'SOMECONST'
            AND TO_DATE(col_dt, "%m/%d/%Y") >= proc_date

end foreach
