Error description

  • RTRIM / LTRIM scalar function on accelerated query is adding .0
    to the result if column is defined as decimal
    
    sample:
    
    CREATE TABLE TB21783
     ( col01 decimal(20)
     )
    ;
    INSERT INTO TB21783 values (123)
    ;
    
    ==> add table to accelerator and load it <==
    
    --run query on accelerator / IDAA
    SET CURRENT QUERY ACCELERATION = ALL
    ;
    SELECT RTRIM(COL01) FROM TB21783
     FOR READ ONLY WITH UR
    ;
    => 123.0
    
    SELECT LTRIM(COL01) FROM TB21783
     FOR READ ONLY WITH UR
    ;
    => 123.0
    
    --run query on DB2
    SET CURRENT QUERY ACCELERATION = NONE
    ;
    SELECT RTRIM(COL01) FROM TB21783
     FOR READ ONLY WITH UR
    ;
    => 123
    

Local fix

  • do not offload the query to the accelerator
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: All users of DB2 10 for z/OS or DB2 11 for   *
    *                 z/OS who use IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator.  *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Incorrect results or SQLCODE -904 are   *
    *                      returned when a query is executed on    *
    *                      an accelerator and contains an          *
    *                      implicit cast of a DECIMAL literal or   *
    *                      column as VARCHAR.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Incorrect results are returned when a query is executed on an
    accelerator and contains an implicit cast of a DECIMAL datatype
    as VARCHAR.
    For example:
    CREATE TABLE TB21783
     ( COL01 DECIMAL(20)
     );
    INSERT INTO TB21783 VALUES (123);
    
    SELECT RTRIM(COL01) FROM TB21783
     FOR READ ONLY WITH UR;
    
    When the above query executes on an accelerator, the incorrect
    value 123.0 is returned.  On DB2 the correct value 123 is
    returned. An implicit cast is added by DB2 to COL01.
    
    For static SQL queries that have been bound for acceleration
    and encounter any of the issues above, after applying this
    PTF, REBIND the package for the failing query.

Problem conclusion

  • Code is fixed so that the correct results are returned from
    the accelerator.
