|
|
<div><p>To improve performance, the SQL runtime attempts to retrieve and
|
|
insert rows from the database manager a block at a time whenever possible.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>You can control blocking, if you want. Use the SEQONLY parameter
|
|
on the CL command <span class="cmdname">Override Database File (OVRDBF)</span> before
|
|
calling the application program that contains the SQL statements. You can
|
|
also specify the ALWBLK parameter on the CRTSQLxxx commands.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The database manager does not allow blocking in the following
|
|
situations: </p>
|
|
<ul><li>The cursor is update or delete capable.</li>
|
|
<li>The length of the row plus the feedback information is greater than 32767.
|
|
The minimum size for the feedback information is 11 bytes. The feedback size
|
|
is increased by the number of bytes in the key columns for the index used
|
|
by the cursor and by the number of key columns, if any, that are null capable.</li>
|
|
<li>COMMIT(*CS) is specified, and ALWBLK(*ALLREAD) is not specified.</li>
|
|
<li>COMMIT(*ALL) is specified, and the following are true: <ul><li>A SELECT INTO statement or a blocked FETCH statement is not used</li>
|
|
<li>The query does not use column functions or specify group by columns.</li>
|
|
<li>A temporary result table does not need to be created.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>COMMIT(*CHG) is specified, and ALWBLK(*ALLREAD) is not specified.</li>
|
|
<li>The cursor contains at least one subquery and the outermost subselect
|
|
provided a correlated reference for a subquery or the outermost subselect
|
|
processed a subquery with an IN, = ANY, or < > ALL subquery predicate
|
|
operator, which is treated as a correlated reference, and that subquery is
|
|
not isolatable.</li>

<div class="section"><p>The SQL run-time automatically blocks rows with the database manager
|
|
in the following cases: </p>
|
|
<ul><li>INSERT <div class="p">If an INSERT statement contains a select-statement, inserted
|
|
rows are blocked and not actually inserted into the target table until the
|
|
block is full. The SQL run-time automatically does blocking for blocked inserts. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If
|
|
an INSERT with a VALUES clause is specified, the SQL run-time might not actually
|
|
close the internal cursor that is used to perform the inserts until the program
|
|
ends. If the same INSERT statement is run again, a full open is not necessary
|
|
and the application runs much faster.</div>

</div>

</li>
|
|
<li>OPEN <div class="p">Blocking is done under the OPEN statement when the rows are retrieved
|
|
if all of the following conditions are true: <ul><li>The cursor is only used for FETCH statements.</li>
|
|
<li>No EXECUTE or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statements are in the program, or ALWBLK(*ALLREAD)
|
|
was specified, or the cursor is declared with the FOR FETCH ONLY clause.</li>
