... %_HINTS db @dbhint1
[db @dbhint2
... ] ...
Effect
The addition %_HINTS can be used to specify database notes at the following positions in Open SQL statements:
One or more database notes can be listed after %_HINTS as a blank-separated list in flat, character-like data objects dbhint1, dbhint2, ... . The name of host variables should be prefixed with the escape character @. The addition db must be used before each database note to specify the database system for which the note is intended. The following table shows the possible additions and the corresponding database system:
Addition | Database System |
ADABAS | SAP MaxDB |
AS400 | IBM System i (AS/400) |
DB2 | IBM DB2 |
DB6 | IBM DB2 UDB |
HDB | SAP HANA database |
MSSQLNT | Microsoft SQL Server |
ORACLE | Oracle DB |
SYBASE | Sybase ASE |
A database system can be listed more than once if there are several database notes for this system. The possible database notes are database-specific and may depend on the release of the database system. They can be found in the documentation of the respective database system. An empty note is ignored.
If SAP buffering is used, or if pool or cluster tables are accessed, the specification of database notes is ignored.
