-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 3.0
Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 on a computer.
-
You have a Microsoft SQL Server linked server that uses OLE DB Provider for DB2 to connect to an instance of an IBM DB2 system.
-
You run a query on the SQL Server linked server. The query uses a four-part name syntax and a WHERE clause to query a complex DB2 view against IBM DB2 databases.
In this scenario, the query may run slowly.
Note This issue may also occur when the query is not used to query DB2 views.
Cause
This issue occurs because OLE DB Provider for DB2 does not use a WHERE clause in a SELECT * FROM < …> query.
When the provider tries to obtain the schema information, the provider sends a SELECT * FROM < …> statement. The Distributed Query Processor (DQP) provides an OpenRowset call for OLE DB Provider for DB2 to obtain the schema information for the four-part name query. The OpenRowset call uses the DBPROP_MAXROWS property. You can set a nonzero value for the DBPROP_MAXROWS property to limit the number of rows that are returned in the query. However, OLE DB Provider for DB2 ignores the DBPROP_MAXROWS property, and the WHERE clause is removed from the SELECT * FROM < …> statement before it is sent to the IBM DB2 database. Therefore, DB2 might be slow to return the query results if the SELECT * FROM < …> query is complex.
Resolution
A hotfix is currently not available for Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2 2.0.

Note Because of file dependencies, the most recent fix for Host Integration Server that contains these files may also contain additional files.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
Workaround
To work around this issue, use an OPENQUERY function instead of a four-part name in the query.
For example, the query may run slowly when you run a query that resembles the following.
SELECT * FROM LINKED_SERVER.CATALOG1.SCHEMA1.DB2_VIEW WHERE COLUMN1 = '12345' This query runs faster when it uses the OPENQUERY function and resembles the following:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(LINKED_SERVER, ‘SELECT * FROM SCHEMA1.DB2_VIEW WHERE COLUMN1 = '12345'’)
More Information
After you apply this update, OLE DB Provider for DB2 sends a query that resembles the following if the OpenRowset call includes a nonzero value for DBPROP_MAXROWS:
SELECT * FROM tablename FETCH FIRST nRows ROWS ONLY
If the DBPROP_MAXROWS property is set to 0, OLE DB Provider for DB2 sends the following query to obtain the schema information, and this query might run slowly:
SELECT * FROM tablename The third-party products that this article discusses are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, about the performance or reliability of these products.
