Error description

  • Consider a large table with 600 Mio rows and on this table there
    is a FOT index
    created on a serial column with unique values. When an update
    statistics low
    on this table/index is made and USTLOW_SAMPLE is set to 1, every
    second run
    on this update statistics returns -1223 on selects on
    sysfragments and sysindexes
    
    The problem column on sysfragments is the leaves colum.
    
    Additionally, queries on this table having a filter which can
    use the FOT index as
    the access path, it may return an -768 during the optimization
    of the query.
