That was point 2 in my post :)

Even if he works with parameter markers, he has to make sure that the
statement in only prepared once and executed multiple times.
If he prepares always before execution it is as good as completely
building the dynamic SQL statement and executing it after.

In addition to this, if you're using dynamic SQL
- make sure you are using parameter markers (always should do this)
- only prepare the statement once


Dynamic SQL with parameter markers looks like wSqlStmt = 'select fld1 from
myfile where key = ?';

vs.
wSqlStmt = 'select fld1 from myfile where key = ' + someValue;

Which is bad not only for performance but security.

Lastly note that
- the system by default won't leave access paths open till the 3rd
invocation of a statement
- the system is smart enough to sometimes figure out the parameter
markers itself and only prepare the statement once.

So if you seeing slow performance on calls 1-3 and better performance on
the rest, you may not see much improvement.

Are you setting the CLSSQLCSR option within the CRTSQLRPGI to *ENDMOD?
Or do you include a SET OPTION statement in your source code that
includes the CLSSQLCSR option to be set to *ENDMOD?

If so the cursor is always closed and the ODP removed if your module
ends, i.e. a FULL OPEN must be performed over and over again.
In this way do not change the default for CLSSQLCSR from *ENDACTGRP to
*ENDMOD and do not compile your program with activation group *NEW,
because the ODPs are always closed at the end of the activation group,
and with option ACTGRP = *NEW the activation group is ended as soon as
the program ends.

Betreff: SQL optimization in bound procedures similar to LR OFF


In a program, I can return without setting on LR and the file opens,
variables etc. do not close or get cleared. This saves me the time of
opening them on the next call for programs that are called frequently
with significant initialization cost.

My question is how to achieve the same effect when I have a procedure in
a
module that uses SQL? I would like a 2nd and following call to be able
to
use the new values passed in with the existing SQL statement and
cursor. I call the procedure 12 times in a row from another program
and it is taking up to 1 second per call.

If there is a keyword that will help me find this on the web, please
let me know because all of my searching has not yielded the answer.
