Do a STRDBG, run em both again, then look at the job log. It should tell
you what it's doing as far as building/reusing access paths, etc.

Elvis,

That's what I thought too. neither query will be in run in
production, I'm just running them in STRSQL while doing a little data
integrity research.

It just really surprised me that there would be a difference in
performance between the two.

In fact, I think that latter statement should run slightly faster.

I'm guessing what happened is probably that access plan built
by the query
optimizer differs for the two statements and it's saved
somewhere (program,
package, plan cache), so you're best off forcing a one-time access plan
rebuild for the latter statement (there is a QAQQINI option to
effect this).

Other than that, I'd suggest contacting IBM and reporting this
little oddity
as a defect.

Subject: sql performance question

Why would the last of the following two SQL statements run ten times
slower than the other?


SELECT *
FROM BLORDLP A
JOIN BLORDDP B
ON ODORD# = OLORD#
AND ODLINE = OLLINE
WHERE OLSTTS <> ODSTTS


SELECT ODORD#, ODLINE, ODSTTS, OLSTTS
FROM BLORDLP A
JOIN BLORDDP B
ON ODORD# = OLORD#
AND ODLINE = OLLINE
WHERE OLSTTS <> ODSTTS

The only difference being the first selects all fields and runs
immediately, the second only selects 4 fields and takes forever to
run.

thanks,

rick
