DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC61694 Status: Closed

DROP INDEX STATEMENTS MAY DEADLOCK WITH DML ISSUED AGAINST THE SAME TABLE

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When dropping indexes from a given table, if there is a DML 
statement running concurrently referencing the same table, it is 
possible to encounter a deadlock. 
 
This can only happen during the compilation stage of the DML 
statement, and is a small timing window in which it can cause a 
deadlock with the DROP INDEX statement.
Problem Summary:
DROP INDEX STATEMENTS MAY DEADLOCK WITH DML ISSUED AGAINST THE 
SAME TABLE
Local Fix:
Workaround: 
 
Serialize DDL on a given table, ensuring to commit after each 
statement. Attempt to have DML statements issued after the DDL 
work has been completed.  If dropping indexes is a common 
scenario for tables that are being accessed by DML, then it is 
best to apply this APAR to your environment.
