Database Guide


Bind files

A bind file, created during precompile, contains all of the information needed to create a package in DB2 used for executing corresponding Smalltalk code. The package is utilized by the DB2 database manager at execution. The bind file can be used to bind your application to other databases.

VisualAge uses unique bind files for each database and platform supported:
