DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC83436 Status: Closed

INCORRECT OUTPUT MIGHT BE RETURNED BY A QUERY WITH PARTITION ELIMINATION
INVOLVING MULTIPLE COLUMNS AND NON-CONSTANT KEYS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
You might encounter incorrect output from a SQL statement that 
references a partitioned table with a multi-column range key, 
and satisfies all the following conditions: 
 
1.  The WHERE clause contains a partition elimination eligible 
predicate, p1, with place holder variable, such as COL1=? 
2.  The WHERE clause contains a correlated subquery or a join, 
p2, that is partition elimination eligible. 
3.  The predicate p1 is applied on a leading column in the range 
key, followed by the predicate p2. 
 
For example, consider a table T1 partitioned by range on 
(COL1,COL2). If an SQL statement contains a WHERE clause as 
 
SELECT ... 
FROM ..., T1, T2, ... 
WHERE ... T1.COL1 = ? AND T1.COL2 = T2.X ... 
 
then, you might encounter incorrect output. Likewise, incorrect 
output is also possible if the predicates are within a 
correlated subquery such as 
 
WHERE T2.Y = (SELECT MAX(T1.Y) FROM T1 WHERE T1.COL1 = ? AND 
T1.COL2 = T2.Y) 
 
If the predicates on COL1 and COL2 are switched, you will get 
the correct output.
