It's possible. On V5R4. I understand the SQE to CQE handling. I'm just
confused as to why SQE not using the logical.

Neill,

The CQE/SQE optimizer was phased in over several releases, so earlier
releases may have had additional constraints. He doesn't mention what
release he's using.

Regarding the use of logical file name in a query, I believe that CQE was
able to take advantage of explicit access path references, but SQE prefers
to parse the physical file object to locate associated access paths. To
me, it sounds like his reference to the LF object is forcing CQE to handle
the query.

Hi Michael

From my understanding you hit the CQE if any of the following are in your
statement:

INSERT WITH VALUES statement or the target of an INSERT with subselect
statement
Logical files
Tables with Read Triggers
Read-only queries with more than 1000 dataspaces or updateable queries with
more than 256 dataspaces.
DB2Â Multisystem tables
non-SQL queries, for example the QQQQry API, Query/400, or OPNQRYF

Otherwise you use the SQE.

It is generally accepted that the SQE is better/ faster than CQE, however
perhaps in this instance you have found a query that the CQE is better at
than the SQE.

If you want to know more I'd suggest some googling on the QE and CQE.

Neill

May be you have found a particular scenario where going through the CQE is
faster than the SQE

I think that you might have it backwards.

When using the logical it works as expected, quickly. But using the
Physical, it does a table scan.

Good piece of information... the physical is a non-keyed physical.

Anyway have fun on vaca.

Several issues. If you have select/omit logicals on the table it could
be dropping into the old query engine. You need to specify in the
options
file
ignore the logicals with select/omit.

Going though the logical will do nothing. It will just using the
logical
to
get the physical file and then go looking for the indexes it thinks is
correct.

As far as not using the copy in QTEMP did you create the table using
SQL using the generate temp file option? (DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY
TABLE) If not, I don't think SQL would even know the table exists.

I am leaving on vacation so I can't research this further but others
can help you with more details.

this myself for a long time, there was a time when the query

would punt (force table scan). I know I saw this prior to SQE...

In several web programs, I thought I was being smart by creating
tables
in
QTEMP that would contain selection criteria to query against large
data files because we don't have logicals that met my selection
criteria.
I
have one that is acting kinda strange. It's not picking a locigal
by company and date over the large data file.

The QTEMP Table only has company and date in the file.

i.e.

001 20090601
001 20090602
001 20090604
001 20090605

Notice that one date is missing. The user wants to be able to select
certain days of the week. ie Weekdays only for an entire month.
Anyway,
I'm trying join this file to a large data file that does have an
index
by
company and date.

But VisualExplain is telling me that it's doing a table scan over
RTA60 because the cost is better. Which I know that isn't true. If
I
replace
RTA60 with the locigal name, it runs as I expect. I hate to use the
logical
in the query because I also have to give the user the ability to run
for
select restaurants (so there's another table in qtemp that has the
user's
selection of restaurants). But nevermind that for now. Just
company
and
date I get horrible response time when listing the physical in
the query. Anybody know why?

select a.*
from sar_dates b
join rta60 a on
a.tcono = b.company and a.tdate = b.dateiso

Does a table scan


select a.*
from sar_dates b
join rta60L9 a on
a.tcono = b.company and a.tdate = b.dateiso

Makes use of the RTA60L9 logical.

Thanks in advance for the help.
