DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC78766 Status: Closed

DB2 MIGHT PRODUCE INCORRECT RESULTS WHEN EXECUTING A NOT IN QUERY WITH
MULTIPLE NULLABLE COLUMNS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
Under rare scenarios, DB2 might produce incorrect results. 
 
1. The query has a NOT IN predicate 
2. The NOT IN predicate references 2 or more nullable columns 
from either parent or subselect tables or both. 
 
eg. 
create table t1 (c1 int, c2 varchar(10), c3 char(1), c4 
decimal); 
create table t4 (c1 int NOT NULL, c2 varchar(10) NOT NULL, c3 
char(1) NOT NULL, c4 decimal NOT NULL); 
 
insert into t1(c1) values NULL, NULL, 100, 200, 1000; 
insert into t4 values (1,'a', 'a', 1.0),(2,'b','b',2.0); 
 
select t1.* from t1 where (c1,c2) not in (select c1, c2 from 
t4); 
 
Correct result is 3 rows.
