The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this release.
| Feature | Known Issue | Defect ID |
|---|---|---|
| General | Due to the program name change in version 3.0, the location where the Options (formerly called Preferences) are stored in the Windows registry was changed. Therefore, if you are upgrading from a version earlier than 3.0, all the Options have been reset to the defaults and you will have to customize them again if you had made any changes in a previous version. | N/A |
|
The directory where the program data is stored was changed in version 3.0. To use the data from a previous version, you will need to either change the Options setting to the former location or to copy the data into the new location. Former directory (default): C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Software\Quest Software\QCUDB New directory: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Quest Software\Quest SQL Optimizer for DB2 LUW |
N/A | |
|
SQL statements that contains parameter markers or host variables as the operands of the same operator are unsupported. For example: select * from employee where ? = ? You will receive this error: "[IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/NT] SQL0417N A statement string to be prepared contains parameter markers as the operands of the same operator. SQLSTATE=4. " |
N/A | |
| Column detection of table functions with host variables or columns as table function parameters are not supported. These columns will be defined as host variables. | N/A | |
| SQL Optimizer |
A SQL statement cannot have more than 2047 characters on one line in the SQL Text pane in the SQL Optimizer or the Index Expert function due to a size limitation of the SyntaxMemo component used for editing. Workaround: Format a large SQL statement so that it is on several lines. |
N/A |
| Edit Data | A table name or column name that has a double quote ("), single quote (') or a period (.) in the name will cause an error when using the Edit Data function to INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. | ST39349 |
| SQL Repository |
In the SQL Repository, when you refresh the access plan of a SQL statement that uses a temporary table, the temporary table must exist in order to retrieve the current access plan. If the temporary table does not exist, SQL Optimizer for IBM® DB2 LUW prompt you to create the table and then copy the DDL for creating the table to the User-Defined Temp Table module so you can create the table. (This works correctly.) If a temporary table does exist, it checks to see if the table definition for the existing table is the same as the one needed to refresh the plan. If it is the same, it should use the temporary table that already exists. Instead it prompts you to create the table and then fails when you try to create the table. Workaround: Manually remove the temporary table in the User-defined Temp Table module before you refresh the access plans. |
ST39369 |
| SQL Scanner | If you have not set up a default printer on your PC, you will get an access violation when you try to save the Scanned SQL Report in the "Adobe Acrobat Document (*.PDF), HTML Document (*.HTM), or RTF Document (* .RTF) formats. | ST39378 |
| Engine |
An error message displays when you try to get a plan for a SQL function with a variable parameter. Workaround: replace the function with a variable parameter with a variable. |
