DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC95490 Status: Closed

QUERY WITH NOT EXISTS PREDICATES MIGHT HAVE PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
Under rare scenarios, DB2 might produce a sub-optimal query plan 
if the following conditions are satisfied: 
1. There are 3 or more inner joined tables in the query (say T1, 
T2, T3) 
2. The query contains a Not Exists or Not In subquery 
3. One of the tables (T1) in the inner join is also the source 
for the subquery. 
4. There is only a single join predicate between Table T1 and 
one of the other tables (T2) 
5. There are local predicates on tables not directly connect to 
T1. 
 
eg. select * from t1, t2, t3 where 
t1.c1 = t2.c1 and t2.c2 = t3.c2 and t3.c1 = 1 and 
not exists (select c1 from T4 where t1.c2 = t4.c2);
