Observation: Hybrid Join and Low Cluster Ratio

You coded a hybrid join with an inner table that has an index with a cluster ratio less than 80. The DB2 optimizer will invoke a sort on the inner table.

To improve the probability of the Db2 optimizer using the clustering index:

  1. Execute REORG to restore clustering.

  2. Run RUNSTATS to update statistics.

  3. Rebind affected plans.
