IT30017: DB2 MAY RUN OUT OF STATEMENT HEAP WHILE COMPILING QUERIES INVOLVING UNIONS AND PREDICATES WITH WEAK UDTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Db2 may run out of statement heap and return a SQL0101N error
  code while compiling queries involving unions and predicates
  with weak User-defined Distinct Type (UDTs). The query must have
  the following properties:
  
  - The query contains a UNION or UNION ALL
  - The query contains a predicate outside of the union subselects
  - The predicate is a basic predicate and contains a weak
  user-defined type
  
  For example:
  
  create distinct type myweaktype as varchar(8) with weak type
  rules;
  create table t1 (c myweaktype);
  create table t2 (c myweaktype);
  
  select 1 from
  (
    select c from t1
    union
    select c from t2
  ) as myunion
  where
  exists (select 1 from t2 where myunion.c = t2.c)
  and
  exists (select 1 from t2 where myunion.c = t2.c);
  

Local fix

• Rewrite the query to push the predicates into the union
  subselects. For example, the query above can be rewritten to:
  
  select 1 from
  (
    select c from t1
    where
    exists( select 1 from t2 where t1.c = t2.c)
    and
    exists (select 1 from t2 where t1.c = t2.c)
    union
    select c from t1
    where
    exists( select 1 from t2 where t1.c = t2.c)
    and
    exists (select 1 from t2 where t1.c = t2.c)
  ) as myunion;
