RE: SQL embeded in RPG with passed parameters won't use indexes

And I am not so sure if it's the first execution, or every execution.

RE: SQL embeded in RPG with passed parameters won't use indexes






Rob,

You might be right about 'first execution'.  I had forgotten, but we had a 
similar occurrence in our shop a couple months back.  A production program 
changed but no one could find records in change management (Aldon) showing 
a promotion.  After a call to IBM it was determined that the program had 
embedded SQL and the optimizer was updating the access plan information.

He speaketh the truth about it being attached to the program.  However I 
am not so sure it's at compile time versus 'first execution'.  Here's my 
train of thought.  We have a change management system (Soft Landing's 
Turnover).  Very often we get the warning "This program has been changed 
outside of Turnover."  And almost always it's an embedded sql program that 

attached the access plan to the program.

My understanding is that it would only be created at run time if the 
statement is dynamically prepared.  That's why I wasn't sure it would 
apply in your case. 

Having a static statement (even though it contains variables) allows the 
pre-compiler to create the access plan and attach it to the program at 
compile time providing a performance boost.

I'm sure there are others out there who could provide a more in depth 
description.

Rick,
                 An earlier suggestion solved the problem, but I am 
interested in
your statements about preparing the statement. It seems like the access 
plan
for my program is built at run time even without a prepare statement, at
least judging from the job log, do you know under what conditions the 
access
plan is built at compile time?

Chris,

I may be off base here but try preparing the statement before declaring 
the
cursor.  I suspect that the pre-compiler can't generate the access plan
properly at compile time.  Changing the access plan generation to happen
during your program by using a prepare might cause it to generate a better
access plan.

I know the prepare is not required with the way you are handling the SQL
statement currently, but it might make a difference.

HTH,

Rick

Subject: SQL embeded in RPG with passed parameters won't use indexes


Hello,
                 I have an RPG ILE program in which I embedded a cursor. I 

created a
index on date (dtmv95) for the cursor to hit when I open the file. It 
worked
like a charm. But then I changed the date range in the cursor from being
static to being brought in by a prompt. Now my program will not use my 
index
when it opens the cursor, it fails with reason code 6 which means that 
"The
keys of the access path did not match the fields specified for the join
criteria."  I think that the optimizer is not 'seeing' the date criteria 
in
my select because they depend on variables, but I have no idea what to do
about it. Does anyone out there have any experience with this problem?

Below is the code
