DB2 - Problem description
| Problem IC87073 | Status: Closed |
XQUERY MAY RETURN INCORRECT RESULT WHEN WHERE CLAUSE PREDICATE HAS CERTAIN FORMAT AND XML INDEX IS USED | |
| product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
| Problem description: | |
xrquery may return incorrect results when the following
conditions are all met:
1. There is XML index created on xpath expression, called
"xpath_exp".
2. XQUERY contains a comparison WHERE predicate "a_variable"
<comp_op> "xpath_exp".
2.1. "a_variable" is a variable specified by LET or FOR clause.
It is bound to expression(s) that casts a literal value to XML
type.
2.2 <comp_op> is one out of {>, >=, <=, <}.
2.3 "xpath_exp" is placed at predicate right side. | |

**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * ALL * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See Error Description * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to DB2 UDB version 9.7 fixpack 8. * **************************************************************** | |
| Local Fix: | |
(1) Change XQUERY statement. Identify predicates falling into condition 2's format. Rewrite predicate to "xpath_exp" <reverse_comp_op> "a_variable". (2) Drop XML index. (3) If "a_variable" is from LET clause, substitute "a_variable" with constant in comparison predicate, i.e. "<xml_type_cast> <literal_value> <comp_op> "xpath_exp". | |
