SWITCH bind option

The SWITCH option causes the previous copy or original copy of a package to become the current copy of the package.

SWITCH ( PREVIOUS )( ORIGINAL ) On: REBIND PACKAGE and REBIND TRIGGER PACKAGE

This option allows you to revert to an older copy of a package in the event of a performance regression. You cannot specify SWITCH with any other rebind options. If the package that you specify does not have the previous or original copy to switch to, DB2® issues an error message, and continues processing the rest of the list. Use this option with the pattern-matching character (*) in the syntax.
