Hi all

We have noticed that despite all the system defaults being Latin, when creating a volatile table in the following manner the column with the case statement gets created with Unicode character set which causes poor performance in subsequent joins.

     create volatile table test as
     (
      select
       proc_d
      ,case when proc_d is null then 'Y' else 'N' end as Null_D
      from run_d
     ) with no data
     on commit preserve rows ;

Any ideas on why this happens? If we create the table first like this it is created as latin charset:

     create volatile table test
     (
      proc_d date
     ,Null_D char(1)
     )
     on commit preserve rows ;

We're on V2R4.1.

Cheers
