简介：
Dynamic SQL Variation 可以认为是Db2内部的一种变量，存放在Dynamic SQL Cache(package cache的一部分)中，每个Variation对应一条编译的动态SQL语句，也就是说，每当Db2编译了一条动态SQL，SQL cache中就会多一个variation，在variation上的加的锁即是Variation Lock(简称V lock 或 VarLock)。为了确保variation有效，SQL执行期间需要在其对应的variation上加锁，详细的加锁方案如下：
如果待执行SQL已在SQL Cache中，应用会在其对应的variation上加一个S锁，这个S锁可以确保SQL执行期间的有效性（比如，删除一张表会使依赖这张表的所有variation失效）。
如果待执行SQL不在SQL Cache中，那么需要编译该SQL，编译期间为了把variation加载(loading)到cache中，会在编译开始前对该variation加一个X类型的锁，这个锁被称之为V loading lock，等编译完成之后，就会释放该锁。X类型V loading lock的目地是为了确保只有这一个应用编译该SQL（编译SQL的代价非常高，只需要编译一次即可，之后不管是同一个应用还是其他应用，要执行相同的SQL就不必再重新编译）。如果应用A拿到了X类型的 V Loading lock，在进行编译期间，有应用B也想编译，那应用B也会尝试获取同一个V loading lock，不过是S类型的。
db2pd工具
为了对Dynamic SQL Variations有一个直观的理解，可以使用db2pd的dynamic选项查看内存中有哪些Dynamic SQL Variation:
测试用到的命令如下，测试之前请确保数据库是未激活状态：
$ db2 +o terminate
$ db2 +o connect to sample
$ db2pd -d sample -dyn
$ db2 +o "list tables"
$ db2 +o "select * from t1 fetch first 1 rows only"
$ db2 +o "describe table t2"
$ db2 "insert into t2 values(10,'aaa')"
$ db2pd -d sample -dyn
$ db2 "insert into t2 values(10,'aaa')"
$ db2pd -d sample -dyn1. 刚连接库, 未发出过动态SQL，发现没有Dynamic SQL Variations
inst105@node01:~$ db2 +o terminate
inst105@node01:~$ db2 +o connect to sample
inst105@node01:~$ db2pd -d sample -dyn

inst105@node01:~$ db2 +o "list tables"

Trace工具
为了进一步验证上面的说法，可以抓取trace，做一个简单的分析。脚本如下：
db2stop force && db2start
db2 connect to sample
sleep 2
db2 -x 'values MON_GET_APPLICATION_HANDLE()' | awk '{print $1}' > currentAgentID
appHdl=`cat currentAgentID`
db2trc on -t -apphdl $appHdl -f db2trace.dmp
for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
db2 +o "select * from t1 fetch first 1 rows only"
sleep 2
done
db2trc off
db2trc flw -t db2trace.dmp db2trace.flw
db2trc fmt db2trace.dmp db2trace.fmt
db2pd -d sample -dynamic > db2pd.dyn.out
db2 +o terminate
echo "Script ends"输出中可以看到SQL执行了5次（NumRef）：

第一次跑SQL，对V lock操作顺序如下： 加X类型的V loading lock (010000000100000001000171D6)，加S类型的V lock(010000000100000001000071D6)，释放X类型的V loading lock，释放S类型的V lock。
之后的4次SQL，因此SQL Cache中已经有variation, 所以再没有需要过V loading lock，只是简单的加V lock，释放V lock
再比如：
compile SQL的代价真的很高，从开始1436到结束的17737：
inst105@node01:~/20190419$ grep 'sqlra_compile_var entry' db2trace.flw
1436 0.003305000 | | | | | | sqlra_compile_var entry [eduid 22 eduname db2agent]
inst105@node01:~/20190419$ grep 'sqlra_compile_var exit' db2trace.flw
17737 0.182564000 | | | | | | sqlra_compile_var exit
而运行5次SQL才一共39039：
inst105@node01:~/20190419$ tail -n 2 db2trace.flw
39038 9.400739000 | | sqlccipcrecv data [probe 55]
39039 9.400740000 | | | sqloSSemP entry [eduid 22 eduname db2agent]
再比如：Db2是先获得了X类型的V loading lock（Trace中1428条目），然后才开始编译（Trace中1436条目），也就是说编码的前置条件是已经获得了X类型的V loading lock。
