DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC62780 Status: Closed

INSTANCE MAY ABEND DURING COMPILATION OF A QUERY CONTAINING IMPL ICITLY
EQUIVALENT COLUMNS AND A PREDICATE WITH AN EMPTY STRING

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
A query being compiled that has a local predicate (LOCPRD) with 
an empty string literal, i.e., '', may cause the instance to 
abend if the following conditions are satisfied: 
 
1) The column (COMPCOL) in LOCPRD is equivalent to another 
column (OTHCOL), e.g., via a join 
2) OTHCOL is also involved in a local predicate (OTHLOCPRD) 
3) LOCPRD is either an equi-join or non-equi-join predicate 
4) OTHLOCPRD is an equi-join predicate 
5) OTHCOL and COMPCOL are both string-type columns 
 
The stack trace from such an abend will look something like: 
 
sqlrxcp1 
sqlnr_seldel_test 
sqlnr_upddelpd_cond 
sqlnr_seq 
sqlnr_rcc 
sqlnr_magic_detail_action 
...

Local Fix:
Manually rewrite the query by adjusting the empty strings in 
the2 predicates involved to have the same length as the columns 
 they are being compared against using spaces, e.g., 
VARCHAR_4_COL = '' 
can be safely adjusted to: 
VARCHAR_4_COL = '    '
