DB2 Explain plan doesn’t exists

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

[db2inst1@broccoli misc]$ db2 bind db2exfmt.bnd blocking all grant public
