GET_DB_CONFIG procedure

The GET_DB_CONFIG procedure returns database configuration information. The procedure does not take any arguments.

Note: This procedure has been deprecated and replaced by the DBCFG administrative view and DB_GET_CFG table function - Retrieve database configuration parameter information.

The schema is SYSPROC.

The procedure returns a single result set with two rows containing a column for each parameter. The first column is named DBCONFIG_TYPE, as shown in the following table.

Table 1. Information returned by the GET_DB_CONFIG procedure
Column name	Data type	Description
DBCONFIG_TYPE	INTEGER	The row with a value of 0 in this column contains the values of the database configuration parameters stored on disk. The row with a value of 1 in this column contains the current values of the database configuration parameters stored in memory.

This procedure requires a user temporary table space that is used to create a global temporary table named DB_CONFIG to store the result set.

Authorization

One of the following authorities is required to execute the procedure:

EXECUTE privilege on the procedure
DATAACCESS authority
DBADM authority
SQLADM authority

Default PUBLIC privilege

In a non-restrictive database, EXECUTE privilege is granted to PUBLIC when the procedure is automatically created.

Example

Using the command line processor (CLP), change the value of the logarchmeth1 database configuration parameter. Retrieve the original (on disk) and updated (in memory) values by calling the GET_DB_CONFIG procedure and then querying the resulting global temporary table (DB_CONFIG).

CREATE BUFFERPOOL MY8KPOOL SIZE 250 PAGESIZE 8K

CREATE USER TEMPORARY TABLESPACE MYTSP2 PAGESIZE 
   8K MANAGED BY SYSTEM USING ( 'TSC2' ) BUFFERPOOL MY8KPOOL

UPDATE DB CFG USING LOGARCHMETH1 USEREXIT

CALL SYSPROC.GET_DB_CONFIG()

SELECT DBCONFIG_TYPE, LOGARCHMETH1 
   FROM SESSION.DB_CONFIG

The following is an example of output from this query.
