Informix - Problem description

Problem IT37790 Status: Closed

SELF JOIN WITH COMMITTED READ CAN RETURN WRONG ROWS (TOO MANY) WHEN
INSERTS ARE HAPPENING ON TABLE

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
The query plan shows an index self join is happening:

select no_fi from f_nf_m where no_fi = 442635

Estimated Cost: 7
Estimated # of Rows Returned: 3

  1) informix.f_nf_m: INDEX PATH

    (1) Index Name: informix.f_nf_m06
        Index Keys: em no_fi s_no_fi
client s_no_fi   (Key-Only)  (Serial, fragments: ALL)
        Index Self Join Keys (em )

        Lower Index Filter: informix.f_nf_m.em =
informix.f_nf_m.em AND
informix.f_nf_m.no_fi = 442635

The query should return 3 rows, but if you run it in a loop with
committed read isolation
while inserts are happening on the table, you may see more than
3 rows returned:
