DB2 multiple row insertion should be coded as block INSERT statement

DB2 multiple row insertion should be coded as block INSERT statement

Dear Sir or Madam,
We from PKS company, partner of IBM, are developing RBD extensions for migration of RPG/Cobol programs to EGL. Thereby we are fighting heavily with performance problems, when inserting multiple records represented by one dynamic array of SQL Records with one EGL add statement. Acutally EGL is performing this with separate insert statement for each record.

Performance could be bettered dramatically, if you would code EGL add statements for dynamic arrays of SQL records as blocked INSERT statement. We discussed this topic with Tim Wilson and he agreed, multiple row insertion should be coded as blocked INSERT statements for DB2.
kind regards
Andreas Gronert

    We agree that this would improve runtime performance. It will be considered in our planning for future releases, but we currently have no time frame for delivery.
