4 4July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA Abstract >CA IDMS TM SQL allows you to access your CA IDMS TM /DB network data, as well as SQL databases, directly with SQL. For certain database structures or application needs, utilizing routines may make your implementation more efficient and robust. By using routines, you can also invoke CA IDMS business logic through SQL and SQL based APIs. This is part one of a three-part series covering CA IDMS SQL routines: table procedures, procedures, and functions. This course provides an overview of all three types of routines, including when to consider using them, and how to design and deploy them effectively.

9 CA IDMS SQL Routines Overview

10 10July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA What is a Routine? Think PIP A routine is a user-written Program or dialog which is Invoked directly by the SQL engine when the routine is referenced in SQL DML; the call is managed by P Parameters specified either as part of the definition or as part of a standard set of arguments included in the call. Implications Involves user-written code, must be tested and optimized Code must be written to interface successfully with engine Parameter values have great impact

11 11July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA User-Written Program / Dialog >Language options are dependent on type of routine COBOL PL/I Assembler CA ADS >Routine definition specifies the program / dialog name >Load module with this name invoked directly by SQL engine when it processes SQL DML that references routine

12 12July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA User-Written Program / Dialog (cont.) >Evaluates and analyzes parameters >Performs processing Supported under CA IDMS (CV and Batch) Non-terminal Protocol BATCH recommended for maximum portability >Sets output value and null indicator of parameters >Sets program parameters SQLSTATE, Message as needed

13 13July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA I nvocation of SQL Routines Three basic types of routines >Table procedure in SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE Can be used the same way as a table or view, i.e. also in join Associated program invoked iteratively until programs sets SQLSTATE = 02000 or 38nnn Returns or updates zero to many rows >Procedure through CALL or SELECT Can be used the same way as a table or view, i.e. also in join Associated program/code invoked once per call Returns zero to one row >Function in value-expression Associated program/code invoked once for each evaluation of the value-expression containing the function reference Returns a single value or null

14 14July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA Parameters That Manage Invocation >Included in routine definition Each specifies an SQL datatype Always both input and output Always nullable Can receive default value Control or impact logic executed within the routine Determine which rows are returned >Standard arguments Usage dependent on type of routine Can impact logic executed within the routine Set by table procedure to indicate iteration should stop Customized error messages

15 15July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA Types of Routines* >Two categories of routines* Called routines* –Also called external routines –Written in CA ADS, Assembler, COBOL or PL/I SQL routines* (r17) –Also called internal routines –Definition in catalog specifies language SQL –Written in SQL language *CA IDMS r17 Terms >Three types of routines Table procedure Procedure Function >Each type of routine falls into one or both categories

16 16July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA Types of Routines: Summary Called Routine - External routines - CA ADS, Assembler, COBOL, PL/I SQL Routine r17 - Internal routines - LANGUAGE SQL - SQL language Table Procedure - CREATE TABLE PROCEDURE - Invoked iteratively - 1 to many rows YesNo Procedure - C REATE PROCEDURE - Invoked once - 0 to 1 row Called Procedure SQL Procedure Function - CREATE FUNCTION - Invoked 1 per expression - Value or null Called Function SQL Function > Cross-reference by Type and Category > Chief characteristics noted

17 17July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA When to Use Routines >Encapsulate complex code >Standardize common processes >Utilize existing code (procedure, function) >Sophisticated security, i.e. row level, external dependencies >Reduce client/server communication >Within a single SQL transaction Transparently consolidate data from different databases Access segmented databases

18 18July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA When to Use Routines (Cont…) >Access non-SQL structures Insert rows in sets and no foreign keys defined Bill of Material Occurs depending on elements Multi-member sets Special, complex processing is required (i.e. REDEFINES,… ) >Use of table procedure for SQL access on network databases is not required for: Fixed occurs elements Update/Delete of rows in sets and no foreign keys defined (use ROWID) >Function Invoke application-specific routines Return a value from available parms

19 19July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA Which Routine to Use When? Value or Row(s) ? SQL Function* Multiple Rows ? Use SQL Code* ? Table Procedure SQL Procedure* Called Procedure Rows No Yes Use SQL Code ?* Yes Called Function No Value * Available r17

20 Implementing Routines: CrEATE The Steps

21 21July 22, 2008 CA IDMS SQL Routines: An Overview Copyright © 2008 CA Steps to Implement a Routine: CrEATE >C reate statement: define routine in the catalog >Wr ite the routine COBOL, Assembler, PL/I for any routine CA ADS mapless dialog for function or procedure SQL DML, network DML, neither, or both >E nable security >A dd program definition to system (DC/UCF) >T est and debug >E fficiency check: optimize & tune
