Problem IC63747
|
Status: Geschlossen |
SELECT DISTINCT WITH LANGUAGE AWARE COLLATION SEQUENCE WITH EO S1 ATTRIBUTE MAY RETURN WRONG RESULTS |
| Produkt: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 |
| Problembeschreibung: |
In a unicode database which was created with a language aware
collation sequence, like "UCA500R1_LROOT_AN_CX_EO_FX_HX_NX_S1"
a SELECT DISTINCT may return wrong results.
The problem is that despite attributes "EO S1" are specified,
which should respect case sensitivity, a string may be sorted as
a duplicate and therefore may be missing from the result set.
This problem happens only if the case difference is after the
7th character.
For example suppose 5 rows containing the column values:
Achter de Hoven
Achter de Hoven
Achter De Hoven
Achter de Hoven
Achter de Hovenstraat
Then a "select distinct(column) ..." returns just:
Achter de Hoven
Achter de Hovenstraat
which is wrong because "Achter De Hoven" is missing. The case
sensitivity was not respected. |

| Local-Fix: |
Either:
Creating an index on the column allows select distinct to return
the correct result. Verify that optimizer chooses the index.
Or:
Avoid a BINSORT used by DB2 internally by setting registry
variable:
db2set DB2_BINSORT=off |
