COMPILATION_ENV table function - Retrieve compilation environment elements

The COMPILATION_ENV table function returns the elements of a compilation environment.

Syntax


>>-COMPILATION_ENV--(--compilation-env--)----------------------><

The schema is SYSPROC.

Table function parameter

compilation-env: An input argument of type BLOB(2M) that contains a compilation environment obtained from the comp_env_desc (compilation environment) monitor element.

Authorization

One of the following authorities is required to execute the function:

EXECUTE privilege on the function
DATAACCESS authority
DBADM authority
SQLADM authority

The function returns a table of two columns (see Table 1): NAME VARCHAR(256) and VALUE VARCHAR(1024). The possible values for the compilation environment element names are described in Table 2.

The origin of the element values depends primarily on whether the SQL statement is issued dynamically or bound as part of a package.

The number and types of entries in a compilation environment can change over time as capabilities are added to the DB2® database manager. If the compilation environment is from a different DB2 database manager level than the level on which this function is executing, only those elements that are recognized by the level of the function are returned. The descriptions of the elements might also vary from release to release.

Examples

Example 1: Request all the elements of a specific compilation environment that was previously captured by a deadlock event monitor. A deadlock event monitor that is created specifying the WITH DETAILS HISTORY option will capture the compilation environment for dynamic SQL statements. This captured environment is what is accepted as input to the table function.

   SELECT NAME, VALUE
     FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.COMPILATION_ENV(:hv1)) AS t

Example 2: Request a specific element (the default schema) of a compilation environment.

   SELECT NAME, VALUE
     FROM TABLE(SYSPROC.COMPILATION_ENV(:hv1)) AS t
     WHERE NAME = 'SCHEMA'

Example 3: Display the compilation environment for a specific statement in the package cache.

Obtain the executable ID, which is used to identify the statement of interest, using the following statement:

SELECT EXECUTABLE_ID, VARCHAR{STMT_TEXT, 100)
  FROM TABLE(MON_GET_PKG_CACHE_STMT(NULL,NULL,NULL,-1)) AS t

The following example is a sample output after executing the preceding statement:

EXECUTABLE_ID                                                       2

...

Investigate the compilation environment for the statement (identified using the executable ID) and format the compilation environment using the COMPILATION_ENV table function. The following statement is an example of how this can be done:

SELECT VARCHAR(NAME, 30), VARCHAR(VALUE, 50)
  FROM TABLE(COMPILATION_ENV((SELECT COMP_ENV_DESC FROM TABLE
    (MON_GET_PKG_CACHE_STMT(NULL, 
     x'0100000000000000010000000000000000000000020020090914151405241700', 
     NULL, -1)) AS t))) AS s

The following example is a sample output after executing the preceding statement:

1                              2
