IT27081: SAP: SUBOPTIMAL PERFORMANCE FOR QUERIES WITH INEQUALITY PREDICATES ON COLUMNIZED TABLES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Suboptimal performance can be observe when running a query with
  the following characteristics:
  
  1. the query runs on columnized tables
  2. the query contains an equality predicate and an inequality
  predicate
  3. the inequality predicate can be rewritten to containing only
  constants and host variables based on the equality predicate
  
  An example query:
  select 1 from col_table where c1<>9 and c1=:HV
  

Local fix

• manually rewrite the inequality predicate. The example query can
  be rewritten to:
  select 1 from col_table, (select * from values(0) where :HV<>9)
  where c1=:HV
