Set Bind Variables

Optimize SQL > Set Bind Variables

You need to define the values of SQL statement variables before you optimize the statement. The Set Bind Variables window displays automatically when you use SQL Optimizer for a statement with variables.

Troubleshooting: If the Set Bind Variables window displays when you optimize a statement without variables, make sure you spelled the column and table names correctly, you selected the correct database or user, and you selected a table or column that exists in the database.

Note: This topic focuses on information that may be unfamiliar to you. It does not include all step and field descriptions.

To set a bind variable

  1. Select the SQL Details tab in the main window.
  2. Enter a SQL statement with a bind variable.

    Note: SQL Optimizer currently supports the following bind variables data type:

    • CHAR

    • NUMERIC
    • DECIMAL
    • INTEGER
    • SMALLINT
    • FLOAT
    • REAL
    • DOUBLE
    • DATETIME
    • VARCHAR
    • TYPE_DATE
    • TYPE_TIME
    • TYPE_TIMESTAMP
    • GRAPHIC
    • VARGRAPHIC
    • LONGVARGRAPHIC
    • BLOB
    • CLOB
