DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Current optimization profile schema

The valid optimization profile contents for a given DB2® release is described by an XML schema that is known as the current optimization profile schema (COPS). An optimization profile applies only to DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows servers.

The following listing represents the COPS for the current release of the DB2 product. The COPS can also be found in DB2OptProfile.xsd, which is located in the misc subdirectory of the sqllib directory.
