PM76271: WRONG KEY GENERATED FOR A SPATIAL INDEX AFTER CREATE INDEX

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Wrong key generated for a SPATIAL index after CREATE INDEX.
  When a row for a normal spatial object, ie. polygon, is
  inserted, followed by a row for an empty SPATIAL object, after
  a CREATE INDEX, the keys may contain invalid keys.  There
  should be zero keys generated for the empty spatial object.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All DB2 9 for z/OS and DB2 10 for z/OS       *
  *                 users of spatial indexes.                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Invalid spatial index keys found after  *
  *                      a CREATE INDEX on a spatial column of   *
  *                      a table.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply corrective PTF when available          *
  ****************************************************************
  Multiple rows were inserted into a table with a spatial column
  that included spatial data followed by rows which included
  empty spatial objects.  A subsequent CREATE INDEX was run to
  create a spatial index for that column.  Invalid keys were
  generated for the empty spatial data.

Problem conclusion

• CREATE INDEX has been modified to generate the correct spatial
  index keys.
