DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC67386 Status: Closed

DATABASE MARKED BAD AND CRASH WHEN ALTER INLINE LENGTH OF COLUMN ON WHICH
SPATIAL INDEX IS DEFINED

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 980 - DB2
Problem description:
If we try to alter the inline length of a column on which a 
spatial index is defined like in the example below, the database 
could get marked bad and crash: 
 
 
1. Table DDL 
 
CREATE TABLE "GISADME "."GIA4A11T"  ( 
              "OBJECTID" INTEGER NOT NULL ,

              "SHAPE" "DB2GSE  "."ST_MULTIPOLYGON" ) 
             IN "TBLS32" INDEX IN "TBLS32" LONG IN "TBLS32" ; 
 
CREATE INDEX "GISADME "."A41_IX1" ON "GISADME "."GIA4A11T" 
            ("SHAPE" ) 
            EXTEND USING "DB2GSE

If we specify a higher inline length we might just face a 
SQL0614N  error which might lead to expectation that we can run 
the alter with a lower length, which could lead to crash: 
 
alter table gisadme.gia4a11t alter column shape set inline 
length 
30000; 
 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because 
it was not a 
valid Command Line Processor command.  During SQL processing it 
returned: 
SQL0614N  The index or index extension "A41_IX1" cannot be 
created or altered 
because the combined length of the specified columns is too 
long. 
SQLSTATE=54008
