NDB - Retrieval of System Tables

Important:
Before you use the Retrieval of System Tables function, refer to LISTSQL and Explain Functions in the section Special Requirements for Natural Tools for DB2.

The DB2 system tables provide information on the contents of your DB2 system. The Retrieval of System Tables function enables you to:

The DB2 objects supported by the Retrieval of System Tables function are database, tablespace, table, index, column, plan, check constraints, statistic tables, package, and DBRM (database request module), as well as access rights to and relationships between these objects.

DB2 objects are presented in one of the following two ways:

Browsing of objects is performed with ISPF-like commands. The most important browse commands can also be issued via PF keys.

This section covers the following topics:

With PF2 (Setup) the maximum length of one column and the number of fixed characters when scrolling left may be specified. The default values for both parameters may be changed in the CONFIG subprogram in library SYSDB2.

When a column value is longer than the maximum length, it will be truncated and marked with a '>' (strings truncated at the right end) or a '<' (numbers truncated at the left end). Note, that for further commands on a line e.g. the line command 'I', only the visible value can be taken as input. This means that commands on lines will fail, when values for further processing are truncated.

Start of instruction set To invoke the List Databases function

  1. Enter function code "D" on the Retrieval of System Tables screen.

  2. Specify the name of the database(s) to be listed.

If a value followed by an asterisk is specified, all databases defined in the DB2 catalog whose names begin with this value are listed.

If asterisk notation is specified only, all databases defined in the DB2 catalog are listed.

Commands Allowed on Databases

The following line commands are available on the database listing screen. Line commands are entered in front of the desired database(s):

Command Description
I Displays information on a database.
S Selects a database to be used with main commands (see below).
U Unselects a database.
AU Displays information on access rights to a database.
TB Displays all tables defined in a database.
TS Displays all tablespaces defined in a database.

The listings of tables or tablespaces displayed as a result of then "TB" or "TS" command can be used for further processing, whereas the contents of the screens displayed as a result of the "AU" or "I" command are for information purposes only.

A list of all line commands available with the List Database function can be invoked as a window by entering the help character "?" in front of any of the listed databases.

The commands "AU", "TB", and "TS" can also be used as main commands. Main commands are entered in the command line of the database list screen and apply to all databases previously selected with the "S" line command.

A further main command is the INFO command, which is the equivalent of the "I" line command, but displays information on all previously selected databases. Instead of being displayed, all information resulting from the "I" or INFO commands can also be marked for printing. Even if already displayed, information can be printed by issuing the PRINT command.

Commands Allowed on Tablespaces

The following line commands are available on the tablespace listing screen. Line commands are entered in front of the desired tablespace(s):

Command Description
I Displays information on a tablespace.
S Selects a tablespace to be used with main commands.
U Unselects a tablespace.
PT Displays all partitions of a tablespace.
TB Displays all tables defined in a tablespace.

The listings of tables displayed as a result of the "TB" command can be used for further processing, whereas the listings resulting from the "I" and "PT" commands are for information purposes only.

A list of all line commands available on the tablespace listing screen can be invoked as a window by entering the help character "?" in front of any of the listed tablespaces.

The commands "PT" and "TB" can also be used as a main commands entered on the command line of the tablespace listing screen. Main commands apply to all tablespaces previously selected with the "S" line command.

A further main command is the INFO command, which is the equivalent of the "I" line command, but displays information on all previously selected tablespaces. Instead of being displayed, all information resulting from the "I" or INFO commands can also be marked for printing. Even if already displayed, information can be printed by issuing the PRINT command.

List Plans

To invoke the List Plans function, enter function code "P" on the Retrieval of System Tables screen. The name of the plan(s) to be listed must be specified. If a value followed by an asterisk is specified, all plans defined in the DB2 catalog whose names begin with this value are listed. If asterisk notation is specified only, all plans defined in the DB2 catalog are listed.

Commands Allowed on Plans

The following line commands are available on the plan listing screen. Line commands are entered in front of the desired plan(s):

Command Description
I Displays information on a plan.
S Selects a plan to be used with main commands.
U Unselects a plan.
AU Displays information on access rights to a plan.
DR Displays all DBRMs contained in a plan.
IX Displays all indexes used by a plan.
PK Displays the package list of a plan.
SY Displays the systems enabled or disabled for a plan.
TB Displays tables used in a plan.

The listing displayed as a result of the "DR", "IX", "PK", or "TB" command can be used for further processing, whereas the contents of the screens displayed as a result of the "I", "AU", or "SY" command are for information purposes only.

A list of all line commands available with the List Plans function can be invoked as a window by entering the help character "?" in front of any of the listed plans.

The commands "AU", "DR", "IX", "PK", "SY", and "TB" can also be used as main commands, which are entered on the command line of the plan listing screen and apply to all plans previously selected with the "S" line command.

The INFO main command, which is the equivalent of the "I" line command, displays information on the DBRMs and their SQL statements contained in the plans previously selected. As with the List Database function, information resulting from the "I" or INFO commands can be printed, too.

Commands Allowed on Indexes

The following line commands are available on the index listing screen. Line commands are entered in front of the desired index(es):

Command Description
I Displays information on an index.
S Selects an index to be used with main commands.
U Unselects an index.
CO Displays all columns of an index.
PT Displays the partitions of an index.

The listings of columns displayed as a result of the "CO" or "PT" command cannot be used for further processing. Like the display resulting from the "I" command, they are for information purposes only.

A list of all line commands available on the index listing screen can be invoked as a window by entering the help character "?" in front of any of the listed indexes.

The commands "CO" and "PT" can be used as main commands, too, and entered in the command line of the index listing screen. If so, all columns of all indexes previously selected with the "S" line command are displayed.

A further main command is the INFO command, which is the equivalent of the "I" line command, but displays information on all previously selected indexes. Instead of being displayed, all information resulting from the "I" or INFO commands can also be marked for printing. Even if already displayed, information can be printed by issuing the PRINT command.
