Problem IT16882 | Status: Closed |
DB2 BLU QUERY CAN END UP WITH WRONG JOIN ORDER SO THAT HASH JOINIS BUILDING ON LARGE TABLE | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
A BLU query can be optimized with a suboptimal plan so that the hash join order is flipped and the hash is building on a very large intermediate table. This is a very specific case caused by an Effectively Cartesian join of the fact table in the query. This can be seen in explain with filter factor = 1, i.e.: 60) Predicate used in Join, Comparison Operator: Equal (=) Subquery Input Required: No Filter Factor: 1 The query may eventually fail with SQL0955 due to out of SORTHEAP memory. A better plan which avoids this problem is picked up with optimization level 9. This should already happen with default optimization level 5. | |
