Error description

• Users might observe performance regression when upgrading from
  V9.7 and running queries with the following characteristics:
  1. Queries contain NOT EXISTS or NOT IN predicates
  2. Sub-queries in the NOT EXISTS or NOT IN predicates contain
  correlated sub-queries
  3. The correlation sources of these correlated sub-queries are
  local to the NOT EXISTS or NOT IN sub-queries
  
  An example of such a query is:
  
  select p1
  from   p
  where not exists
  (select *
  -- This NOT EXISTS sub-query contains correlated sub-queries
  from (select *
         from a
        where exists (select 1                              --
  This correlated sub-query has correlation source from Table A
  which is local to the NOT EXISTS sub-query
                             from b
                             where b1=a1 order by b1)
        fetch first 1 row only) q
  where q.a2 = p.p1)
