IT19659: DB2 MIGHT ABEND WHEN EXECUTING QUERIES WITH MULTIPLE OUTER JOINSAND EQUALITY PREDICATES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Under rare cases, DB2 might abend when the following conditions
  are true:
  1) The query contains 3 or more left outer joins
  2) The Join predicate in the top-most left join references a
  column from the null-producing side of the lowest left join.
  3) The same column is also referenced in an equality predicate
  in an inner join
  
  e.g.: Select *
      from t1 left join t2 on t1.c1 = t2.c1
              left join t3 on t1.c1 = t3.c1
              inner join t4 on t2.c1 = t4.c1
              left join t5 on t2.c1 = t5.c1
