DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC91738 Status: Closed

PREDICATE SELECTIVITY CLAUSE MAY NOT TAKE EFFECT IN LEFT OUTER JOIN QUERY

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
Under registry DB2_SELECTIVITY 'YES' setting, user can specify 
the selectivity of a predicate and optimizer will apply it 
instead of its estimated version as predicate filter factor. The 
"SELECTIVITY" keyword and its value are expected to be present 
at "Optimized Statement" as well as "Plan Details" section in 
db2exfmt output plan file. If they are missed, it indicates 
the user specified selectivity is lost during query compilation 
and optimizer doesn't make use of it. This type of problem can 
happen to query statement with mixed outer join and inner join. 
 
Assume the outer join predicate is R.x = N.x and inner join 
predicate is R.y = I.y. The problem requires all the following 
conditions to be satisfied: 
 
1. I.y is unique. 
2. The SELECTIVITY clause is appended after a simple local 
equality predicate on table R. That predicate should be an 
equality predicate between simple base column and a literal. It 
can't involve any expression.

****************************************************************
Local Fix:
Manually rewrite local equality predicate by replacing <literal> 
in "R.z = <literal>"  with an equivalent expression, e.g. max(?, 
cast(null as int)). 
 
Ex: 
 
original query predicate ---> Table1.Column1 = ? selectivity 
.000001 
 
rewritten query predicate ----> TTable1.Column1=max(?,0) 
selectivity .000001
