Getting Started with pureQuery
11.8.1 Binding the SQL statements in the interfaces
If you want to use static SQL, you must use the pureQuery StaticBinder utility to bind the
SQL statements in your interfaces. You can run the StaticBinder utility either from the
command line or by selecting menu options in IBM Optim Development Studio. Refer to
Chapter 7 for a description of the StaticBinder utility and how to specify what packages it
should bind in the database.
11.8.1.1 In practice: Bind the SQL statements in your interface
If you are using IBM DB2 Database for your database, use the StaticBinder to bind the
statements in your interface in the database.
11.8.1.1.1 Specify options for the interface
As for the Generator utility, you can use an options file to specify options for the
StaticBinder utility. Notice the options file named Default.bindProps in Figure 11.8. It
is located in the pureQueryFolder directory in the GettingStartedWithPureQuery
project.
Figure 11.8 - The options file Default.bindProps in a pureQuery-enabled project
Add a line to Default.bindProps for the interface. The StaticBinder’s defaults are fine
for our purposes, so you do not specify any options on the line. The StaticBinder can bind
the interface even without the line, but it is a good practice to add it. Adding everything that
must be bound to the options file makes it easy to bind the application from the command
line. Add a line as shown in Listing 11.31. If you were to add options for the interface, you
would specify them after the equal sign (=).

11.8.1.1.2 Run the StaticBinder utility.
Bind the interface by right-clicking on it in the Package Explorer view and selecting
pureQuery, and then selecting Bind…. This is shown in Figure 11.9. Then, choose the
connection that you want to use for the bind and click Finish, as shown in Figure 11.10
