IT32783: UPGRADE FROM 11.70.FC9 TO 14.10.FC3 OF DATABASE WITH SPATIAL BLADE LEAVES OLD EXTERNAL NAME IN SYSPROCBODY FOR GEOMETRYEQUAL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The following was reported after upgrading a special build of
  11.70.FC9 to 14.10.FC3 on AIX64.
  
  The problem has been reproduced on AIX64 upgrading 11.70.FC9 to
  14.10.FC3.
  
  After upgrading to 14.10.FC3, there appears to be a single row
  in sysprocbody that has its data
  column set to a create function that includes an external name
  pointing to old spatial install.
  
  For instance:
  
  $ dbaccess stores_demo -
  > select * from sysprocbody a, sysprocedures b where datakey =
  "T" and
  > data matches "*spatial.8.21.FC5*" and a.procid = b.procid;
  
  procid          795
  datakey         T
  seqno           1
  data            create function Equal(ST_Geometry,ST_Geometry)
  returns boolean
                     with (not variant, parallelizable)
                     external name
  '$INFORMIXDIR/extend/spatial.8.21.FC5/spatial.
