Getting Startedwith pureQuery

Chapter 4 - pureQuery tooling Views
In the following chapters you will learn how you can use the Client Optimizer feature of the
pureQuery runtime to collect SQL statements from your application (Chapter 9) and then
use the Static Binder utility (Chapter 10) to bind those statements into DB2 packages to
gain better performance and a better authorization model for DB2 applications. Optim Data
Studio’s (ODS) pureQuery tooling includes a set of features to assist you in performing
these tasks faster and more easily whether you are a developer or an application-centric
database administrator (DBA).
4.1 pureQuery tooling: The big picture
The pureQuery tooling from ODS provides a set of views and editors to help you optimize
your new or existing applications (JPA, Hibernate, JDBC, pureQuery API) without changing
a single line of code. The tooling includes problem isolation and impact analysis
capabilities through the introduction of the SQL Outline view and the pureQuery Analysis
view.
The SQL Outline view gives developers the ability to drill down into the application to find
where a specific SQL statement was executed. It improves the collaboration between
DBAs and developers, for example, by allowing developers to quickly and easily gather
and export all statements into a file for the DBA to analyze and give feedback:
