On the Commands page, you can execute an SQL statement or DB2 CLP command. You do not need to precede the command by "DB2".

Run and create a visual access plan, by clicking the Execute and Access plan icon (from the left of the toolbar)

Run a command or statement, by clicking the Execute icon (at the left of the toolbar).

On the Query Results page, you can see the results of the queries. You can also save the results or edit the contents of the table.

On the Access Plan page, you can see the access plan for any explainable statement that you specified on the Interactive page or the Script page when you click on the Access plan or Execute and Access plan icon. DB2 generates the access plan when it compiles the SQL statement. You can use this information to tune your queries for better performance.

If you specify more than one statement on the Script page, an access plan is not created unless you highlight a single statement.

You can get help writing SQL with the SQL Assist tool available from the Selected menu of the Command Editor menu.
