IT34731: RUNSTATS ON KEY COLUMNS SET PROFILE ON COLUMN-ORGANIZED TABLE WITH NO INDEXES MIGHT LATER LEAD TO SQLCODE -901

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A series of operations starting with the definition of a
  RUNSTATS profile with the "ON KEY COLUMNS" option on a
  column-organized table with no indexes (or primary keys or
  unique constraints) can sometimes lead to the following SQL0901
  failure later when the table is referenced in queries or
  utilities:
  
  SQL0901N The SQL statement or command failed because of a
  database system
  error. (Reason "Packed descriptor corruption found. Please run
  RUNSTATS on
  this table".) SQLSTATE=58004
  
  Unfortunately running RUNSTATS on the table as the message
  instructs does not resolve this particular problem.
  

Local fix

• Contact Db2 Support for a service utility and instructions to
  fix the packed descriptor; do not use "RUNSTATS ON KEY COLUMNS
  SET PROFILE" on a column-organized table with no indexes,
  primary keys or unique constraints.
