IT29981: DB2 MAY RETURN INCORRECT RESULTS WHEN EXECUTING IUD STATEMENTS CONTAINING A SUBQUERY WITH CORRELATION AND AGGREGATION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Db2 may return incorrect results when executing IUD statements
  containing a subquery with the following properties:
  
  - The subquery contains correlated predicates.
  - The subquery contains aggregation.
  - The subquery references another subquery or
  common-table-expression that returns unique records (for example
  via aggregation or DISTINCT).
  
  For example:
  
  insert into mytable3
    with mycte as (
      select mytable.c1 c1, mytable2.c1 c2
        from mytable, mytable2
        where mytable.c2 = mytable2.c2
        group by mytable.c1, mytable2.c1
      )
    select distinct c1
      from (select c1,
            (select sum(c2)
               from mycte
               where mycte.c1 = mycorr.c1 and mycte.c2 = 1) as
  mysum
              from mytable mycorr )
      where mysum > 0;
  

Local fix

• The incorrect results can be avoided by using the following
  registry setting via db2set or an Optimization
  profile/guideline:
  DB2COMPOPT=NO_GBPRDPU
