Answer / sangeetha

A bind plan contains the optimised access path to the DB2
resources for the application program.
Hence,the SQLs within the program will fail,if the
application program is not bound with a plan.

Answer / harish

ACTUALLY BIND PLAN CONSISTS OF DBRM SO IN DB2 WE NEED TO
CREATE UNIQUE PLAN NAME TO GET EXECTABLE LOAD MODULE AND
DURING RUN PROG WE NEED TO GIVE PLANNAME AND MODIFIED
SOURCE LIB .

IF WE DIDNOT BIND WE WILL GET -805 ERROR I,E PROG NAME OR
DBRM NOT FOUND IN PLAN

SUPPOSE IF YOU MADE ANY CHANGES IN ANY PROGRAM THEN COMPILE
AND BIND PACKAGE ,BIND PLAN .SUPPOSE IF U DONE EVERYTING
AND FORGOT TO BIND IN THAT CASE YOU WILL GET -818 ERROR I,E
TIMESTAMP ERROR...

pls let me know if u have any queries

Answer / guest

We dont bind the DB2 program, we bind the subproduct DBRM
that is output during the precompile step. Without the
final step of BIND the DB2 program will not execute because
the program looks for a DBRM with matching contoken from
the load module. If it cannot find one, the DB2 issues an -
818.

Answer / sk

during compilation of a DB2 program. The host language (eg
COBOL) code and SQL code will be separated.
The SQL codes will be processed and optimised access path
will be generated; the path forms the plan.
The host code will be compiled with its own host compiler
and the executable code will be generated.
The BIND step binds both the executable codes of SQL and
host language; the outcome is the final executable code.
Without bind a DB2 program will not execute.

Answer / hareesh

Bind is a compulsory step in DB2 programming, because only
after the Bind step you will get the executable load module.

Answer / srinivas g

Bind is type of compiler for the SQL statement.
It reads the SQL Statements from the DBRM and produces a mechanism to access data as directed by the SQL statements being bound.
Also checks Syntax, check for correctness of table & column definitions against the catalog information & performs authorization validation.
