Just a quick reminder:
If you start a new database where you want to genrate some execution-plans you might run into the following :
db2 => explain plan for select * from t1,t3 where t1.n1=t3.n1; DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned: SQL0219N The required Explain table "DB2INST1.EXPLAIN_INSTANCE" does not exist. SQLSTATE=42704 db2 =>
Do not panic. This can easily be overcome by running sqllib/misc/EXPLAIN.DDL
[db2inst1@broccoli misc]$ db2 -tf EXPLAIN.DDL ******* IMPORTANT ********** USAGE: db2 -tf EXPLAIN.DDL ******* IMPORTANT ********** DB20000I The UPDATE COMMAND OPTIONS command completed successfully.

And then you need to bind the package:
[db2inst1@broccoli misc]$ db2 bind db2exfmt.bnd blocking all grant public LINE MESSAGES FOR db2exfmt.bnd ------ -------------------------------------------------------------------- SQL0061W The binder is in progress. SQL0091N Binding was ended with "0" errors and "0" warnings. [db2inst1@broccoli misc]$
And you can march on.
