INSERT TAKES TOO LONG | |
| product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
When trying to execute an INSERT statement to a table having
auto-generated and bit string columns, it is noticed that it
takes
a long time to complete.
This happens if both of the conditions below are met:
1. it is up to DB2 to generate a value for generated column
2. client is trying to insert any value to binary column
For example:
create table N (
i int generated by default as identity (starting from 0,
increment by 1),
c char(1) for bit data);
insert into N (c) values (x'00'); | |
