Hi,
I have started using DB2 UDB ESE v8.2 in Linux recently. I have
seen a lot of articles on packages, prepare statement, bind and execute
statement.
I havent got a clear idea.
I have written a few stored procedures but havent used prepare and
execute.
what are its advantages. ?
What is a package in DB2 UDB and how do you bind and rebind (I really
dont know what to bind, even) ?
Thanks in advance.

You use PREPARE and EXECUTE if the SQL statement text s not known in
advance. SQL allows only values to be passed in at execution (through
parameter markers or variables).
Identifiers (such as a table name) cannot be variable.
That is:
'SELECT * FROM ? WHERE ?.? = 5' is not legal SQL.
So, if you want to compose SQL on the fly you have to glue together the
SQL string:
SET txt = 'SELECT * FROM ' || mytable || 'WHERE ' || mytable || '.' ||
mycolumn || '= 5'
And then prepare (compile) and execute the statement.
Note that queries (as above) are executed by opening a CURSOR, while
UPDATE/DELETE/INSERT/MERGE/CALL and DDL statements get executed using
the EXECUTE statement (they don't return resultsets).

If are are using SQL Procedures you can afford to stay reasonably
ignorant on those.
Compilation of any procedure happens in up to three phases:
1. PREP
Separate the SQL from the programming logic (e.g. C)
2. BIND compile the SQL and store the result in a PACKAGE on the server
3. Compile and Link the programming logic for external procedure
For an SQL Procedure there are really only 2 interfaces you have with
the package:
REBIND_ROUTINE_ PACKAGE() which you call after statistics for tables used
in the procedure have been updated or e.g. an index has been dropped. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...n/r0009863.htm
SET_ROUTINE_OPT S()
which you can call before creating a procedure to change its semantics
(such as the isolation level) from the default. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...n/r0011873.htm
Cheers

I wrote a stored procedure that uses a prepared INSERT INTO statement
in order to play with the PREPARE and EXECUTE keywords.
In transcript 1 below the call to that stored procedure does not work.
Yet transcript 2 shows that the stored procedure does its job, if only
the table name is provided directly in the statement text string,
instead of as a host variable to a prepared statement like in 'EXECUTE
stmt USING tabName, fldValue'.

Hello All,
I am using a Dynamic SQL Statement inside a Stored Procedure. I am using IBM DB2 V8.1 database.
When i want to have the values to be filled in dynamically, i use the parameter marker (?). I dont have any issues if the value is of type VARCHAR. But I get an error if i bind a value other than Varchar (String) say, an Integer. The error I get is "The statement "<stmt what i prepare>" is too long".
See the statements i use :

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
