Hi,
Is there any way to create a plan to execute a query without the actual cobol-program.
That is, usually a plan(executable) is created after the BIND PLAN. Which executes the query for a cobol program or any other program. The process is like
COB-PROGRAM --> PRE COMPILE --> DBRM --> PLAN
What i want to know is, just say i have a query like
select * from test.employee;
for this i want to create a plan.
process like
QUERY -->___This is a Blank is waiting for your ideas____-->PLAN
like this. Is it possible..

Hello,
When you have a new question you need to start a new topic for your question. You should not reply to some other topic with your new questions.
Continuing to do this will simply result in the new questions being deleted. . . |

Dick,
Thank You Very Much for starting a new thread on this topic. As i was reading the posts on "differences between plan and package". This question came along, and thank you for giving it a name "Stand-alone plan for a query".
Can something like this be done ?
Eagerly waiting to know the answer,
Sushanth Bobby |

Hello,
Is there some reason you cannot simply run your query via SPUFI? |

Dick,
Yes. QUERY can be executed via SPUFI. That is the purpose of SPUFI.
PLAN also serves the same purpose, executing query. But, there is a lot of difference in executing a plan & running a query in SPUFI.
Till now, my thinking goes like this, PLAN can be made for a programs(COBOL). Those programs need data to further continue their processing. And the data happens to be in DB2 tables, and to access the data from the table. program needs to execute a query. Query can be executed by a plan. So, the program uses the plan to execute the query. In the meantime, all the authorizations, previleges & syntax checkings all being done.
COBOL PROGRAM with SQL query --> pre-compile --> DBRM --> PLAN
And i was wondering can something like this can it be done.
DIRECT QUERY --> --> PLAN

You do not execute a plan, You execute/run a program...
anyway the answer is NO,
but why such a strange requirement/curiosity
how would You exploit such a possibility..
You need anyway to execute a program to achieve some useful results
the things that gets closer but it uses an empty plan is the prepare execute approach
the way spufi or dsnep2 do
get a string which represents a query, prepare it ( a quick an dirty in flight bind ) and the execute it |

Not a requirement. Curiosity & Imagination.

hmmm. Let me start from what i know now & correct me if iam wrong. Just bare with me
You cannot execute a plan, you can execute only a program. The plan is used by the program and it can be used only by that program due to timestamp consistency token put in the modified source program(after pre-compile) and consistency token in plan. Programs consistency token has to match the plan's consistency token.
So, there is no chance for a program to execute a different plan. Because, It is all built like that.
So, a program can't be made to execute different plans
i.e., Instead of program having SQL queries, let them call plans.
i.e., A program capable of getting different results by executing different plans.
Consider a program with just one type of query is executed and results are got.
Another doubt, i just got now, consider program which has already has a plan to execute a query. Now the program wants to execute another/replace that query. No codings has been changed, just the query.
Now what should be done to that programs (DBRM,PACKAGE,PLAN) ? [I hope this doesn't come into new topic, i get diverted a lot]
When thinking about one thing, i also think about other things.

I gave already the answer, use the prepare statement

if You are curious to see how it does it search the db2 samplib for the source
the library name should contain something like ....SDSNSAMP |
