DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC80512 Status: Closed

DB2 OPTIMIZER MIGHT CHOOSE SUB-OPTIMAL INDEX-ORING ACCESS PLAN WHEN ALL
RECORDS IN THE TABLE ARE RETURNED.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
If a query contains only one predicate, an IN predicate, and all 
records in the table qualify the predicate, the optimizer might 
choose an index-oring access plan as in the following example 
query and access plan: 
 
SELECT * FROM FACT WHERE YEAR IN ( 2012, 2013, 2014 ); 
 
                                 ... 
                                FETCH 
                            /-----+------\ 
                        RIDSCN     TABLE: SCHEMA1 
                          |              FACT 
                          | 
        +-----------------+-----------------+ 
      SORT              SORT              SORT 
        |                 |                 | 
      IXSCAN            IXSCAN            IXSCAN 
        |                 |                 | 
  INDEX: SCHEMA1    INDEX: SCHEMA1    INDEX: SCHEMA1 
      INDEX1            INDEX1            INDEX1 
 
If all possible values in the column YEAR are referenced in the 
values list of the IN predicate, then a table-scan access plan 
will be a better choice.
