Binding utilities to the database
When a database is created, the database manager attempts to bind the utilities in db2ubind.lst and in db2cli.lst to the database. These files are stored in the bnd subdirectory of your sqllib directory.
About this task
Binding a utility creates a package, which is an object that includes all the information needed to process specific SQL and XQuery statements from a single source file.
Note: If you want to use these utilities from a client, you must bind them explicitly. You must be
in the directory where these files reside to create the packages in the sample database. The bind
files are found in the bnd subdirectory of the sqllib
directory. You must also bind the db2schema.bnd file when you create or upgrade
the database from a client. See
Db2® CLI bind files and package namesfor details.
Procedure
To bind or rebind the utilities to a database, from the
command line, invoke the following commands:
connect to sample
bind @db2ubind.lst
