DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC70584 Status: Closed

ADMIN_IS_INLINED AND ADMIN_EST_INLINE_LENGTH FUNCTIONS RAISE ERROR FOR
SPATIAL TYPES

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
SQL0245N issued when using ADMIN_IS_INLINED and 
ADMIN_EST_INLINE_LENGTH functions with spatial column types. 
 
For example, the following queries will fail with SQL0245N: 
 
1) select admin_is_inlined(feature) as is_inlined from cntry94 
 
SQL0245N The invocation of routine "ADMIN_IS_INLINED" is 
ambiguous. The argument in position "1" does not have a best 
fit. SQLSTATE=428F5 
 
2) select max(admin_est_inline_length(feature)) from cntry94 
 
SQL0245N The invocation of routine "ADMIN_EST_INLINE_LENGTH" is 
ambiguous. The argument in position "1" does not have a best 
fit. SQLSTATE=428F5 
 
Spatial types can be stored inline.  These functions should 
work.

**************************************************************** 
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         * 
* The ADMIN_IS_INLINED and ADMIN_EST_INLINE_LENGTH functions   * 
* added in Version 9.7 result in error when used with spatial  * 
* column types. Inline support for spatial columns is          * 
* supported.  These functions should not result in error when  * 
* used with spatial column types.                              * 
**************************************************************** 
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              * 
* Apply Version 9.7 Fix Pack 4                                 * 
****************************************************************
Local Fix:
The following query can be used to determine if a spatial column 
is inlined: 
   SELECT CASE 
            WHEN 197 + LENGTH(<columnname>..points) <= 
               ( SELECT inline_length 
                 FROM syscat.columns 
                 WHERE tabschema = <tableschema> 
                   AND tabname = <tablename> 
                   AND colname = <columnname>) 
            THEN 1 
            ELSE 0 
          END 
   FROM <tableschema>.<tablename> 
 
Where <tableschema>, <tablename> and <columnname> are 
substituted with the desired schema, table and column names. 
 
A similar query can be used to return the estimated inline 
length.
