DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC66296 Status: Closed

COMPRESSION STATISTIC PCTPAGESSAVED MAY BE INACCURATE.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
PCTPAGESSAVED is set to 0 when RUNSTATS is executed on just the 
indexes of the table via the FOR INDEXES clause, for example: 
    RUNSTATS ON TABLE s.t  FOR INDEXES ALL 
 
Under rare situations, incorrect intermediate calculations can 
lead to an inaccurate PCTPAGESSAVED value, including 0 and 
negative values.

Local Fix:
Determine compression benefit from other compression statistics 
PCTROWSCOMPRESSED and AVGROWCOMPRESSIONRATIO. 
 
If PCTPAGESSAVED is 0 after an index-only RUNSTATS operation, 
collect statistics again, ensuring to collect statistics for the 
table as well as its indexes, for example: 
    RUNSTATS ON TABLE s.t  AND INDEXES ALL
