DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC71961 Status: Closed

DATE PREDICATES INCORRECTLY OPTIMIZED IN QUERY REWRITE.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
During query rewrite a date predicate is rewritten incorrectly. 
The Date arithmetic is not properly applied and the resulting 
optimized statement is not syntactically equivalent to the 
original query. 
 
For an example: 
 
Original Statement: 
------------------ 
select f02date 
from datetbl 
where (f02date + 2 month) = '2004-02-29' 
 
 
Optimized Statement: 
------------------- 
SELECT Q1.F02DATE AS "F02DATE" 
FROM MYSCHEMA.DATETBL AS Q1 
WHERE (Q1.F02DATE = '12/29/2003') 
 
As a result the return set will not contain rows that match the 
predicate.

Local Fix:
Rewriting the query by placing all constant terms on one side of 
the predicate might avoid the problem.
