Title: DB2
SQL PL Stored Procedures: User Experiences in Implementation
SQL
Procedure Language (SQL PL) procedures have proven to be an invaluable tool
for mid-tier developers on both DB2 LUW and z/OS particularly for those with
little z/OS experience.DB2 for z/OS introduced Native SQL Procedures are quick
and easy to develop, test, and debug. They perform well and with a little
forethought are easy to deploy across environments. This presentation takes a
look at SQL PL Procedures development Lifecycle and our client experiences in
implementation. We will discuss SQLPLs strengths and limitations, best
practices, interfacing with existing change management tools and the latest
enhancements. We will also look at the role of IBM Data Studio in the
development life cycle.
