About us

the CURSOR Service Distribution

  • High-Value Service Provider for IBM Informix.

CURSOR Service Distribution is a business unit of CURSOR Software AG, resulting from the acquisition of the Informix and development tool specialist "Nonne & Schneider" at the end of 2005.

Our services are independent from licensing through our company. Well-known customers rely on our monitoring and use our tools, while licensing and update maintenance are contracted directly with IBM.

DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC86779 Status: Closed

INGEST UTILITY: UP TO 10X PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION FROM BETA1R2 TO GA WHEN
INGESTING DATES, TIMES, AND TIMESTAMPS

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
1.  Problem description 
During a POC the customer found that ingesting almost 10M rows 
into 
their table took from 50x to 100x longer using the GA product 
compared to Beta1R2.  Part of this was due to the problem 
described 
in APAR IC85355 (performance problem in db2GetRowPartNum).  The 
fix 
for APAR IC85355 has been delivered to V10.1 FP1.  But even with 
 
that fix the performance degradation was still anywhere from 2x 
to 
10x. The problem can be seen in these timings from Beta1r2, GA 
without the fix for APAR IC85355, and GA with the fix for APAR 
IC85355: 
 
$ cat time.beta1r2 
real    0m18.14s 
user    0m0.01s 
sys     0m0.08s 
 
$ cat time.ga 
real    16m27.99s 
user    0m0.02s 
sys     0m0.04s 
 
$ cat time.ga.fix 
real    0m31.17s 
user    0m0.02s 
sys     0m0.05s 
 
Various configurations show different amounts of degradation, 
but in all cases Beta1r2 performs best, followed by GA with the 
fix for APAR IC85355, followed by GA.

4.  System setup 
(For example, if your database is partitioned, this is where 
this information should be included.  Provide clearcase view 
name, and contents of db2nodes.cfg file, including catalog, 
coordinator node information. Also which machine name has which 
node number(s) for DPF.) 
 
5.  Diagnostic information 
(This section should include applicable db2diag.log entries, 
stack traces, lineofcode tool output, and formatted dump files. 
Also include any other FODC or PD tool output that helped you or 
will help Development diagnose the failure you're opening this 
defect for.  Include the location of all files not attached but 
referenced by this defect.) 
 
6.  How to reproduce the problem 
(Include the name of the bucket and snippet of existing or 
planned test unit that exposed the failure described above.  A 
"repro" should be as small as possible. Also, include the degree 
of difficulty of the repro.  A repro is Easy if it can be done 
on demand, Medium if it can be done after several attempts, and 
Hard if it is not possible.)

---------- 
DB2START; 
CREATE DB testdb; 
CONNECT TO testdb; 
 
CALL SYSPROC.SYSINSTALLOBJECTS('INGEST', 'D', NULL, NULL); 
CALL SYSPROC.SYSINSTALLOBJECTS('INGEST', 'C', NULL, NULL); 
 
DROP TABLE my_table; 
CREATE TABLE my_table ( 
   "ORDERKEY" BIGINT NOT NULL, 
    "SHIPDATE" DATE NOT NULL , 
    "COMMITDATE" DATE NOT NULL , 
    "RECEIPTDATE" DATE NOT NULL) 
DISTRIBUTE BY HASH("ORDERKEY");

db2 -v "INGEST SET disk_write 0" 
db2trc on -m "*.*.SQLO,SQLUDI,SQLU.*.*" -perfcount -t 
 
# The input file has about 10 million records. 
time db2 -v "INGEST FROM FILE input_file.del \

   RESTART OFF \ 
   INSERT INTO my_table" 
 
db2trc dump cdi_perf.dmp 
db2trc off 
db2trc perffmt cdi_perf.dmp cdi_perf.fmt 
 
Then look at the timings in the performance trace. 
 
7. Did anything in particular seem to cause this problem? 
 
8.  Is this problem a regression?  If so, please provide details 
on the last successful build level similar to (3) above. 
A regression from Beta1r2.
