Informix - Problem description

Problem IT13725 Status: Closed

AN INSERT FROM AN EXTERNAL TABLE INTO A FRAGMENTED RAW TABLE WITH PDQ SET
DOESN'T UPDATE THE 'CURRENT SERIAL VALUE'

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
If you create a fragmented raw table with
SERIAL/SERIAL8/BIGSERIAL columns and load it from an external
table using

  insert into raw_table select * from ext_table;

with a PDQ set to anything > 0, the current
SERIAL/SERIAL8/BIGSERIAL value of the raw table is not updated
properly.

An example:

set pdqpriority 60;
insert into tab1 select * from tab1_ext; -- tab1 is a raw table
with 2 fragments and a SERIAL column
100 row(s) inserted.

$ oncheck -pt testdb:tab1 | grep "serial value"
    Current serial value           2
    Current serial value           1

****************************************************************
Local Fix:
The problem happens only in the unique combination of following
conditions:
- insert from external table ...
- ... into fragmented ...
- ... raw table ...
- with PDQ set

So avoiding any one of the conditions will allow you to achieve
the expected result, even though at the cost of some performance
penalty.
