SPARCompiler FORTRAN

Note:Before using the SPARCompiler FORTRAN compiler, make sure db2ln was run when DB2 was installed. This command links the DB2 header files into /usr/include. If this has not been done, SPARCompiler FORTRAN may not be able to find the header files because it does not have an environment variable or a switch such as -l to locate them.

The script file bldf77, in sqllib/samples/fortran, contains the commands to build a sample FORTRAN program.

The first parameter, $1, specifies the name of your source file. The second parameter, $2, specifies the name of the database to which you want to connect. The third parameter, $3, specifies the user ID for the database, and $4 specifies the password. Only the first parameter, the source file name, is required. Database name, user ID, and password are optional. If no database name is supplied, the program uses the default sample database.

Compile and Link Options for bldf77

The script file contains the following compile options:

f77
The FORTRAN compiler.

-w
Suppress warning messages.

-c
Perform compile only; no link. This book assumes that compile and link are separate steps.

The script file contains the following link options:

f77
Use the compiler to link edit.

util.o
Include the object file for error checking.

-Lpath
Specify the location of the DB2 runtime shared libraries. For example: -L/opt/IBMdb2/v5.0/lib.

-Rpath
Specify the library search path for the dynamic library. For example: -R/opt/IBMdb2/v5.0/lib.

-Rpath
Specify the compiler-specific library. For example: -R/opt/SUNWspro/lib.

-ldb2
Link with the DB2 library.

-o $1
Specify the name of the object module.

Refer to your compiler documentation for additional compiler options.

To build the sample program updat.sqf, do the following:

  1. Go to the window in which you set your environment variables by running db2profile. Refer to "Setting Your Environment" if you need more information.

  2. Start the database manager on the server, if it is not already running, by entering:
    db2start
    

  3. Build the sample program, connecting to the SAMPLE database, by entering:

    bldf77 updat

The result is an executable file updat. You can run the executable file against the SAMPLE database to see how it works by doing the following :

  1. Go to the window in which you set your environment variables by running db2profile.

  2. Start the database manager on the server, if it is not already running, by entering:
    db2start
    

  3. Run the program. If you built the updat sample program, enter:

    updat

Note:To build FORTRAN applications that do not contain embedded SQL, you can use the script file bldf77api. It contains the same compile and link options as bldf77, but does not connect, prep, bind, or disconnect from the SAMPLE database. It is used to compile and link the DB2 API sample programs written in FORTRAN.

Building FORTRAN Stored Procedures

The script file bldf77sp, in sqllib/samples/fortran, contains the commands to build a stored procedure. The script file compiles the stored procedure into a shared library on the server that can be called by the client application.

The first parameter, $1, specifies the name of your source file. The second parameter, $2, specifies the name of the database to which you want to connect. The third parameter, $3, specifies the user ID for the database, and $4 specifies the password. Only the first parameter, the source file name, is required. Database name, user ID, and password are optional. If no database name is supplied, the program uses the default sample database.

The script file uses the source file name, $1, for the shared library name.



#! /bin/ksh
# bldf77sp script file
# Builds a FORTRAN stored procedure
# Usage: bldf77 <stored_proc_name> [ <db_name> [ <userid> <password> ]]
 
# Connect to a database.
if (($# < 2))
then
   db2 connect to sample
elif (($# < 3))
then
   db2 connect to $2
else
   db2 connect to $2 user $3 using $4
fi
 
# Precompile the program.
db2 prep $1.sqf bindfile
 
# Bind the program to the database.
db2 bind $1.bnd
 
# Disconnect from the database.
db2 connect reset
 
# Build the stored procedure.
f77 -w -G $1.f -o $1
 
# Copy the shared library to the sqllib/function subdirectory of the DB2 instance.
# Note: this assumes the user has write permission to this directory.
eval "H=~$DB2INSTANCE"
cp $1 $H/sqllib/function


Compile and Link Options for bldf77sp

The script file contains the following compile options:

f77
The FORTRAN compiler.

-w
Suppress warning messages.

-G
Generate a shared library.

-o $1
Specify the name of the object module.

Refer to your compiler documentation for additional compiler options.

To build the stored procedure outsrv.sqf do the following:

  1. Go to the window in which you set your environment variables by running db2profile. Refer to "Setting Your Environment" if you need more information.

  2. Start the database manager on the server, if it is not already running, by entering:
    db2start
    

  3. Build the stored procedure, connecting to the SAMPLE database, by entering:
    bldf77sp outsrv
    

    The script file copies the stored procedure to the server in the path sqllib/function to indicate that the stored procedure is fenced. If you want the stored procedure to be unfenced, you must move it to the sqllib/function/unfenced directory. These paths are in the home directory of the DB2 instance.
    Note:An unfenced stored procedure or UDF runs in the same address space as the database manager and results in increased performance when compared to a fenced stored procedure or UDF, which runs in an address space isolated from the database manager. With unfenced stored procedures or UDFs there is a danger that user code could accidentally or maliciously damage the database control structures. Therefore, you should only run unfenced stored procedures or UDFs when you need to maximize the performance benefits. Ensure these programs are thoroughly tested before running them as unfenced. Refer to the Embedded SQL Programming Guide for more information about fenced and not fenced stored procedures.

  4. If necessary, set the file mode for the stored procedure so the DB2 instance can run it.

Once you build the stored procedure outsrv, you can build outcli that calls the stored procedure. You can build outcli using the bldf77 script file. Refer to "SPARCompiler FORTRAN" for details.

To run the stored procedure, do the following :

  1. Go to the window in which you set your environment variables by running db2profile.

  2. Start the database manager on the server, if it is not already running, by entering:
    db2start
    

  3. Run the sample client application by entering:

    outcli

The client application passes a variable to the server program outsrv, which gives it a value and then returns the variable to the client application.
