DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC63024 Status: Closed

Twinning of LIKE predicate with generated BETWEEN predicate is not
necessary when the column is wrapped with scalar function.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When a LIKE predicate column is wrapped with a scalar function, 
e.g.  LOWER(A2) LIKE 'a%', we cannot take advantage of applying 
start/stop key with the generated BETWEEN predicate set, LOWER 
(A2) <= StringHighValue AND LOWER(A2) >= StringLowValue. 
Therefore, this fix will exclude the generation of BETWEEN 
predicate to twin with the original LIKE predicate. 
 
e.g. 
Original Statement: 
------------------ 
select * from a where lower(a2) like 'a%' 
 
Optimized Statement: 
------------------- 
SELECT Q1.A1 AS "A1", Q1.A2 AS "A2" 
FROM USER1.A  AS Q1 
WHERE (LOWER(Q1.A2) LIKE 'a%')
