How to specify filename in DB2 CLP interactive input mode? - db2

I want to exec script.sql inside DB2 interactive input (DB2 =>)
I can only initiate db2 using krun -- db2
And for some reason krun -- db2 -vf script.sql doesn't seem to work.
Only interactive mode works for me. Help.

You could use the GET_LINE Built-in module for Oracle Compatibility. It is not available in Express-C edition.

Postgres: Run some hard-coded SQLs then drop to interactive terminal

When you start interactive bash, it runs .bashrc first and then it gives you an interactive prompt. Very handy to setup bash in the right way.
I'm trying to do the same with Postgres client (psql). I want to set some session configuration parameters before I run SQL statements interactively. Does psql let me do that?
The -c option and the -f option are the standard ways to run a pre-canned SQL statements, but the man page clearly states that those options are incompatible with the interactive mode.
The analogy to .bashrc extend to the name as well. You want .psqlrc

PostgreSQL: Copy/import a user defined function from one database to another database

I have a similar question like this, but for PostgreSQL. I am using PostgreSQL 9.5.12 (x64) on my Windows 10 (x64) machine. I have a function (written in plpgsql) my_func() in database my_db. Is it possible to import/copy this function to another database in postgres?
In psql the \ef command will open the function in an editor you can then save it to a file... unfortunately the UI of the windows version of psql was pretty cruddy last time I checked.
a pg_dump of the database with --schema-only will also include all function definitions. you can then open it in an editor and copy the functions.
You could use pg_get_functiondef to get function definition as follows:
SELECT pg_get_functiondef(oid) AS definition FROM pg_proc WHERE proname = 'my_func';

DB2 executing a Script in another Script

I am facing a problem in DB2. In my Oracle environment it was very easy for me to include multiple scripts in one master script, which were executed sequentially. e.g.:
Master.sql:
connect ....
#script1.sql
#script2.sql
Now I have to build up same logic in DB2 LUW. Is there a simple way to include multiple scripts in one master script? I would like to have one single db2 call from shell, which executes the master script and within all subscripts.

There is notrhing to stop you from creating a single file with multiple sql batches. In the Windows world, it would look like this:
Note: First you initialize the db2 command prompt.
db2cmd -c -w -i %1.bat
With as many of these as you want in the .bat file:
db2 -txf c:\Example\db2html.sql
In Linux, the db2clp is included in the shell once you load the db2profile ('. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile). In windows, you need to call db2cmd in order to use db2clp.
With a interactive db2clp, you cannot call db2 scripts via #scriptX, however, you can call them from the shell like
db2 -tvf script
However, if you use the CLP*Plus you can do almost everything you do in SQL*Plus. For more information: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/IMSupport/entry/tech_tip_db2_s_new_clp_plus_utility?lang=en

DB2 procedure compilation from KSH script

I am writing a KSH script to accept a .sql file parameter followed by each schema that file is to be compiled in. The script assumes the .sql file is a DB2 9.7 procedure.
I believe I am stuck on the syntax of the db2 command for the termination character. We always use the at symbol ('#'), however the following snippet fails with error "DB21001E The option "-#" specified after the 'db2' command or in the DB2OPTIONS variable is incorrect." Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
#!/bin/ksh
. $IBM_DB_DIR/db2profile
db2 connect to dwdev3
const_compil_string_suffix="-vtd# -f ../../stored_procedures/"
script_name="ETL.THING.sql"
db2 "$const_compil_string_suffix$script_name"
db2 terminate
I have confirmed that the resulting string command above the 'terminate' does work at linux prompt compiling the procedure as expected:
db2 -vtd# -f ../../stored_procedures/ETL.THING.sql
Thank you in advance.
Try losing the quotation marks:
db2 ${const_compil_string_suffix}${script_name}
I suspect the option string -vtd# might be the culprit.
When using single character options most unix command accept two types of options, those with and those without arguments.
Apparently the # character is being processed as an option argument, however the error message indicates it is seen as an option on its own.
Try separating the options, as in: -v -t -d#, reorder them. or remove one of the -t or -v options.
Beware though. I have no knowledge about the db2 cli. Experiment at your own risk.
Was the -t option added later?

Exception / error handlers in DB2?

I have a bunch of SQL scripts (with shell script wrappers) to unload data like so
EXPORT TO /tmp/out.csv OF DEL MODIFIED BY NOCHARDEL COLDEL, DATESISO
MESSAGES /tmp/out.msg SELECT WIDGETID
...
I want to add an error handler to the script the way Oracle does it:
WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE;
SPOOL /tmp/out.csv;
SELECT WIDGETID...
SPOOL OFF;
According to DB2's documentation, this can be done in stored procedures, C, Perl, REXX, and nothing else...
How can this be done in SQL scripts?
I am running DB2/LINUXX8664 9.7.2.
you could use the DB2 command line command processor and get its return code. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0010411.html
or you could use the SYSPROC.ADMIN_CMD procedure and use its return codes. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9r5/topic/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.rtn.doc/doc/r0023573.html
you could put the stored proc calls in a script file and run something like db2 -tvf runexport.txt or put the db2 commands in a linux script file and use linux scripting foo to handle the db2 return codes.
