DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT20786 Status: Closed

INCORRECT RESULT POSSIBLE WHEN CASE AND ANOTHER PREDICATE HAVE THE SAME
COMPARISON OPERATION

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / B10 - DB2
Problem description:
If SQL against COLUMNAR table has 2 predicates , one of them 
CASE and part of the CASE or entire CASE condition matches the 
other predicate, then we could eliminate the second predicate by 
mistake. 
 
Example: 
 
SELECT * FROM T WHERE ( SUBSTR(A,1,1) = 'B' ) AND CASE WHEN ( 
SUBSTR(A,1,1) = 'B' ) THEN B ELSE B END <> 0 
 
( SUBSTR(A,1,1) = 'B' ) is used as it's own predicate AND as 
condition in CASE statement. 
 
In some cases we could lose this predicate and only apply CASE 
WHEN ( SUBSTR(A,1,1) = 'B' ) THEN B ELSE B END <> 0 which will 
return extra rows.
