Some query tuning tips for DB2
Some tips to influence the DB2 optimizer:
1. To avoid using an index, add an OR 0=1 predicate. E.g, Select * From T1 where (C1=:V OR 0=1). The same trick can indirectly be used to modify the join order also (if indexes determine the initial join order)
2. Use OPTIMIZE for 1 ROWS to avoid sorts. There is also a CLI variable called OPTIMIZEFORNROWS that will cause this clause to be appended to all queries.
3. OPTIMIZE FOR 1 ROWS also turns off both list and sequential prefetching as we are telling DB2 that we are only interested in the first row
