DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC99164 Status: Closed

USING LOAD FOR MDC TABLES ON CASE INSENSITIVE DATABASES MIGHT CAUSE BLOCK
INDEX CORRUPTION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
When the MDC table is populated with LOAD utility, the LOAD puts 
upper-case key values in the same index block of as lower-case 
key values.This happens in case insensitive database. 
Following scenario leads to the problem: 
 
db2 "create db wsdb collate using 
UCA500R1_LEN_AN_CX_EX_FX_HX_NX_S2" 
db2 "connect to wsdb" 
db2 "create tablespace ts1 extentsize 2" 
db2 "create table t1 (i1 int, c2 char(1), i3 int, c4 char(250)) 
organize by (i1,c2) in ts1" 
echo "1,Y,1,SpaceWaster" >> dataFile 
echo "1,y,2,SpaceWaster" >> dataFile 
db2 "load from dataFile of del messages /dev/null insert into 
t1" 
db2 "create table t2 (i1 int) in ts1" 
db2 "insert into t2 values (1)" 
 
 
Next, during DELETE(UPDATE) operation on the MDC table following 
error might be returned: 
 
db2 "delete from t1 where c4 = 'SpaceWaster' and i1 in (select 
i1 from t2)" 
 
DB21034E  The command was processed as an SQL statement because 
it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. 
During SQL processing it returned: 
SQL0901N  The SQL statement failed because of a non-severe 
system error. 
Subsequent SQL statements can be processed.  (Reason "Key data 
mismatch encountered during key delete".)  SQLSTATE=58004 
 
 
The error occurs when the block index you are trying to 
DELETE(UPDATE) from has the key stored with a lower-case instead 
of an upper-case, and we are trying to update the block index 
using an upper-case key value instead of a lower-case key value.

****************************************************************
Local Fix:
To avoid hitting the problem, the workaround is to normalize any 
character data in the dimension columns for any MDC tables, or 
to use import instead of load. 
 
If you have already hit the problem, then then you need to 
recreate your MDC table to fix the problem.
Solution
Problem was first fixed in DB2 version 9.7 fixpack 10
