Background

For tables involved in joins, some statistics are computed on the affected columns to help in determining an optimal join order. These are maintained upon any DML operations performed on the table.

Description

DML statement (insert, delete, update, import, merge) may crash if the affected table (the target of the DML statement) contains a column of type HASHTYPE(1,...,15, 17,18,19 BYTE).

Workaround

Change those HASHTYPES to CHAR

Fix

DML statements work correctly with those HASHTYPES.
