SAP Note 1636936 - 11g Wrong results with star_transformation_enabled = true

Component : Oracle - BW ORACLE

Summary :
This SAP Note discusses a discrepancy in query results attributed to Oracle bug 12827166, affecting versions 11.2.0.1 through 11.2.0.3 with star transformation enabled. The bug leads to incorrect results when the query execution plan includes an index range predicate with equality in start or stop keys. The resolution involves applying specific patches detailed for supported Oracle versions (except 11.2.0.1, no longer supported) in SAP Bundle Patches / Oracle patch collections dated after 201110 or 201112. A temporary workaround to disable star transformation is suggested, though it may degrade performance in BW queries. It is recommended to upgrade and apply the appropriate patches to mitigate this issue.
