<h1 class="topictitle1">Gather information about embedded SQL statements with the <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> command</h1>
<div><p>The <span class="cmdname">Print SQL Information (PRTSQLINF)</span> command
returns information about the embedded SQL statements in a program, SQL package
(the object normally used to store the access plan for a remote query), or
service program. This information is then stored in a spooled file.</p>
<div class="section"><p><span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> provides information about: </p>
<ul><li>The SQL statements being executed</li>
<li>The type of access plan used during execution. This includes information
about how the query will be implemented, the indexes used, the join order,
whether a sort is done, whether a database scan is sued, and whether an index
is created.</li>
<li>A list of the command parameters used to precompile the source member
for the object.</li>
<li>The CREATE PROCEDURE and CREATE FUNCTION statement text used to create
external procedures or User Defined Functions.</li>
</ul>
<p>This output is similar to the information that you can get from debug
messages. However, while query debug messages work at runtime, <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> works
retroactively. You can also see this information in the second level text
of the query governor inquiry message CPA4259.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can issue <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> in a couple of ways.
First, you can run the <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> command against a saved
access plan. This means you must execute or at least prepare the query (using
SQL's PREPARE statement) before you use the command. It is best to execute
the query because the index created as a result of PREPARE is relatively sparse
and may well change after the first run. <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span>'s requirement
of a saved access plan means the command cannot be used with <span class="cmdname">OPNQRYF</span>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>You can also run <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> against functions,
stored procedures, triggers, SQL packages, and programs from iSeries™ Navigator.
This function is called Explain SQL. To view <span class="cmdname">PRTSQLINF</span> information,
right-click an object and select <span class="uicontrol">Explain SQL</span>.</p>
