Easily format how explain information appears for query access plans. With the release of Db2 11.5.9, you can run the EXPLAIN_FORMAT stored procedure to format explain table information that is generated when you explain an SQL statement. The EXPLAIN_FORMAT stored procedure formats the explain information consistent with db2exfmt and stores the result in a new explain table column.
