Timestamp 精度提升
•
•
•
•
目前7.1及之前的版本的TIMESTAMP类型仅支持小数点后6位精度（微秒）
对某些类型的应用精度不够，对另外一些则不需要如此高精度
7.2里用户可以指定TIMESTAMP使用0 – 12位精度
支持TIMESTAMP数据类型的地方都可以指定 （包括RPG程序）
CREATE TABLE x
(C1 TIMESTAMP(12), -- 需要额外的12位精度
C2 TIMESTAMP(0)) -- 不需要非整数的精度

Defaults for Parameters



存储过程支持 7.1 – 函数支持 7.2
支持 SQL 和外部存储过程和函数 – making it possible to run more
SQL applications on IBM i.
可以用于扩展存储过程/函数的参数列表，而不用担心对现存应用的
功能更改。只需要简单的对新参数指定缺省值即可。
此功能可以实现：
• 1) 定义了缺省值的参数可以在调用时省略
• 2) 可以在调用时以任意顺序指定参数
• 3) 支持LANGUAGE SQL 和 EXTERNAL 存储过程/函数
CREATE PROCEDURE p1 (i1 INT, i2 INT DEFAULT 0, i3 INT
DEFAULT -1)...
CALL p1(55)
CALL p1(55, i3=>33)

自治存储过程 Autonomous Procedures
自治存储过程是运行在一个独立的事务中的存储过程，与
调用它的事务完全隔离。
•自治存储过程内部可以执行Commit或者rollback
•Commit和rollback独立于外部事务
•自治存储过程使用activation group QSQAUTOAG.
CREATE PROCEDURE writelog (loginfo VARCHAR(1000)
AUTONOMOUS
BEGIN
…
INSERT INTO MJATST.T1 VALUES(LOGINFO);
…

对SQL例程加密
•
使用下列的实用程序，应用可以对有知识产权的SQL例程（存储过程，函
数，触发器）代码进行加密。最终用户将无法看到例程的具体语句。但是
DB2仍旧可以识别和执行这些SQL例程。
•
CREATE_WRAPPED存储过程可以创建一个加密的SQL例程。加密过的
SQL语句会被保存在catalog和程序对象中.
– 例如： CALL CREATE_WRAPPED(‘CREATE FUNCTION salary(wage
DECFLOAT) RETURNS BIGINT RETURN wage * 40 * 52’)
•
WRAP函数读取一个创建SQL例程的SQL语句（如CREATE
PROCEDURE），返回一个加密后的语句
– 例如：WRAP(‘CREATE FUNCTION salary(wage DECFLOAT) RETURNS
DECFLOAT RETURN wage * 40 * 52’)
– 返回如下结果: CREATE FUNCTION salary(wage DECFLOAT) WRAPPED

在单一SQL触发器中支持多种事件类型
• 可以使用单个SQL触发器处理INSERT，UPDATE和DELETE事件。
• 易于管理，安装和维护。
下面的例子中，单一触发器可以：
a) 插入新员工记录的时候递增员工号
b) 删除员工记录时递减员工号
c) 更新薪酬超限的时候出发警告
CREATE TRIGGER HIRED
AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE OF SALARY ON EMPLOYEE
REFERENCING NEW AS N OLD AS O FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF INSERTING
THEN UPDATE COMPANY_STATS SET NBREMP = NBREMP + 1;
END IF;
IF DELETING
THEN UPDATE COMPANY_STATS SET NBREMP = NBREMP - 1;
END IF;
IF UPDATING AND (N.SALARY > 1.1 * O.SALARY)
THEN SIGNAL SQLSTATE '75000'
SET MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Salary increase > 10%'
END IF;

•
•
支持对一个动态的复合语句进行PREPARE和EXECUTE
COMPOUND语句指的是BEGIN和END包围起来的语句集合
之前只能通过存储过程实现
可以使用变量，错误处理和所有的控制语句
支持ATOMIC和NOT ATOMIC
BEGIN
DECLARE V_ERROR BIGINT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE V_HOW_MANY BIGINT;
DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION
SET V_ERROR = 1;

乱序创建表分区
• 使用CREATE TABLE创建分区表时，现在可以乱序指定分区区间了。添加分区也可以添
加在已有分区中间。
With TR8, out of order ranges are tolerated
Example:
create table corpdb.sales_table(trans_date
timestamp) partition by range(trans_date)
(starting('2013-01-01 00:00:00.000000')
ending ('2013-03-31 23:59:59.999999'),
starting('2013-07-01 00:00:00.000000')
ending ('2013-09-30 23:59:59.999999'));
-- Oops, forgot a partition, add it in
alter table corpdb.sales_table add partition
starting('2013-04-01 00:00:00.000000')
ending ('2013-06-30 23:59:59.999999');

SQE – 受控的复杂查询的优化
•
SQL Query Engine (SQE) 现在可以检测盒控制复杂查询的优化过程，带来查询
性能的提高和系统资源消耗的降低。
1. SQE可以识别出当前有同样的查询同时进入优化阶段。
2. SQE可以识别出查询时复杂查询 (>20 表引用)
3. 1 & 2 可以阻止超过3个相同查询的实例进入优化阶段。同样的查询情况会被暂
挂，直到现有优化过程完成。
这提高了SQE查询计划缓存的效率。原理是同样的查询有更高的机会可以重用
已经存在的计划，避免重复的优化过程。

QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO表函数 – 获取作业日志
•
作业日志包含大量关键信息
• 作业出现错误时，可以浏览作业日志获取错误信息
• 日志中的REQUEST消息可以用于了解执行过的CL命令
• 即使trace和其他错误记录手段存在， IBM服务部门通常都会要求获得作业日志
以帮助定位问题或异常
新的JOBLOG_INFO()表函数提供了一种全新的获取作业日志的方式，可以帮助应
用开发人员和系统管理者更方便的获取和处理作业日志
唯一的参数就是希望检查的作业名字
• ‘*’ 表示当前作业
• 或者指定另一作业的完整限定名
•
•
Example 1: Find the most recently executed command in a target job
SELECT MESSAGE_TEXT FROM
TABLE(QSYS2.JOBLOG_INFO('706721/SCOTTF/QPADEV0006')) A
WHERE A.MESSAGE_TYPE = 'REQUEST'
ORDER BY ORDINAL_POSITION DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY

使用SQL生成SQL DDL源代码
• Today, SQL DDL can be generated for existing objects using IBM i Navigator’s
Generate SQL… or via the Generate Data Definition Language (QSQGNDDL) API.
With IBM i 7.1 in the TR8 timeframe, an SQL approach is now possible!
• The QSYS2/GENERATE_SQL() procedure can be called to generate DDL for one
or more objects.
• The procedure has many parameters (33 of them), but leverages DB2 for i support
for defaults on parameters.
• Use the API documentation to understand the required privileges and procedure
parameters: http://bit.ly/QSQGNDDL
•The generated DDL can be written to a user specified output file or consumed as a
result set.
• Since this is an SQL procedure, SQLCODE=-443 is a generic indicator of failure.
• If the object name is delimited, the delimited name needs to be input.
• Either the SQL name or System name is permitted on input.
• The procedure handles generic names, something unique to this interface.
SQL interfaces are easy to use and powerful

Ease of Implementation
• Pipelined table functions are easy to implement. While “set-at-a-time” processing
remains the best practice, pipelined functions provide a user friendly alternative.
Greater runtime flexibility
• Pipelined table functions allow the flexibility to programmatically create 'virtual'
tables with greater control than SELECT or CREATE VIEW can provide.
 UDTF input parameters
 Ability to handle errors and warnings
 Application logging
 References to multiple databases in a single query
 Customized join behavior
Big Data / Analytics / Performance
• In those scenarios where only a subset of the result table is consumed, pipelined
functions are preferred.
Interoperability / Portability
• Compatible with DB2 for LUW support

DB2 for i – Name delimiting function
• SQL Catalogs store names in un-delimited form
• Most SQL statements and services require that input names be properly
delimited.
• The QSYS2/DELIMIT_NAME() User Defined Function (UDF) is a new DB2 for i
supplied service that can be used to insure a name is ready for use.
• Delimiters are only added if needed.
• Input InName VARCHAR(128) & RETURNS VARCHAR(258)
Example:
SELECT TABLE_NAME , QSYS2.DELIMIT_NAME(TABLE_NAME) AS
TABLE_NAME_DELIMITED FROM QSYS2.SYSTABLES ORDER BY TABLE_NAME

Enhanced ability to copy tables with identity columns
• Identity value columns are guaranteed to contain a unique value.
• When tables are copied with INCLUDING IDENTITY COLUMN ATTRIBUTES or via
CL commands like Copy File (CPYF), the next value for the identity column is the
defined first value
• In many cases, the Database Engineer (DBE) would prefer to have the new table use
the same “next value” as the source table.
• Now, you can easily reestablish the identity value using the
QSYS2/RESTART_IDENTITY() procedure. The procedure calculates the NEXT
VALUE of the source file’s identity value and alters the target file to match.
Procedure signature:
CALL QSYS2.RESTART_IDENTITY(<source-library-name>, <source-file-name>,
<target-library-name>, <target-file-name>);

SQL column names in messages
• SQL Column names are much easier to understand than Field names
• SQL Language constructs like FOR SYSTEM NAME and FOR COLUMN
make it easier to recognize and understand failures, because the name is
chosen instead of system generated
• A behavior change has been made, to give preference to SQL column names
in failure messages. The list of SQL messages changed to return SQL column
names is:
SQL0190, SQL0196, SQL0197, SQL0404, SQL0406, SQL0407, SQL0415

Programmatic consumption of Snapshots
SQL Performance Monitors and SQL Plan Cache snapshots contain extensive detail
about database activity. Today, the primary benefactor of this detail is the DBA or DB
performance analyst who is using IBM i Navigator to graphically analyze the activity.
The QSYS2/EXTRACT_STATEMENTS procedure provides an SQL interface to pull out the
important / deep details.
Example – Extract the 100 most recent statements
CALL QSYS2.DUMP_PLAN_CACHE('SNAPSHOTS', 'SNAP020114');
CALL QSYS2.EXTRACT_STATEMENTS('SNAPSHOTS', 'SNAP020114', '*AUDIT',
'AND QQC21 NOT IN
(''CH'', ''CL'', ''CN'', ''DE'', ''DI'', ''DM'', ''HC'', ''HH'', ''JR'', ''FE'', ''PD'', ''PR'', ''PD'')',
' ORDER BY QQSTIM DESC FETCH FIRST 100 ROWS ONLY ',
null, null);
57
Parameters:
1) MONITOR_SCHEMA varchar(10) - required
2) MONITOR_NAME varchar(10) - required
Optional parameters…
3) ADDITIONAL_SELECT_COLUMNS
varchar(5000). A value of *AUDIT will cause
the procedure to return the merged
statement and columns that are normally
interesting to auditing
4) ADDITIONAL_PREDICATES varchar(5000)
5) ORDER_BY varchar(5000)
6) OUTPUT_SCHEMA varchar(258)
7) OUTPUT_TABLE varchar(258)
If parameters 6&7 are not specified, a result set is
returned

IBM中国系统与科技研发中心 --- IBM i 实验室之旅深圳站
Programmatic consumption of Snapshots
Example – Extract the 10 queries with the longest runtime, where the query took > 1 second
CALL QSYS2.DUMP_PLAN_CACHE('SNAPSHOTS', 'SNAP020114');
CALL QSYS2.EXTRACT_STATEMENTS('SNAPSHOTS', 'SNAP020114',
ADDITIONAL_SELECT_COLUMNS => ‘DEC(QQI6)/1000000.0 as Total_time, QVC102 as Current_User_Profile ',
ADDITIONAL_PREDICATES => ' AND QQI6 > 1000000 ',
ORDER_BY => ' ORDER BY QQI6 DESC ');
Note: Extraction takes time, this is not a quick operation

Finding the most expensive queries
Everyone sees value in reviewing the most expensive queries. While “most expensive” can be
interpreted in many ways, the total elapsed time needed to execute the query is the best place
to start. The QSYS2.DUMP_PLAN_CACHE_topN procedure provides an SQL interface to
programmatically mine the live SQL Plan Cache.
Automate
Example:
CALL QSYS2.DUMP_PLAN_CACHE_topN('SNAPSHOTS', 'TOPN020214', 20);
select qqc21,DEC(QQI6)/1000000.0 as Total_time,
QVC102 as Current_User_Profile,
qq1000 from SNAPSHOTS.TOPN020214 where qqrid=1000 order by qqi6 desc;

When any AR connects to an IBM i Application Server (AS), these values will
appear if the register does not already contain a value
CLIENT PROGRAMID  'DRDA‘
CLIENT APPLNAME  pppvvrrm (for example 'QSQ07010‘) where:
• ppp identifies the AR product signature as follows:
 ‘ARI’ - DB2 for VM and VSE
 ‘DSN’ - DB2 for z/OS
 ‘QSQ’ - DB2 for i
 ‘SQL’ - all other DB2 products
• vv is a two-digit version identifier
• rr is a two-digit release identifier
• m is a one-character modification level
CLIENT USERID  The user ID on the AR
CLIENT WRKSTNNAME  The DB2 for i system name on the AR
CLIENT ACCTNG  The user's accounting code on the AR
