Adaptive Server 15.0.2 introduces deferred compiling. Using deferred compilation, the optimizer can compile stored procedural statments that reference real runtime values.
Adaptive Server uses deferred compilation for queries that reference local variables and parameters in search clauses, queries where a join is used with a temporary table created in the same procedure, and queries where a subquery references a temporary table.
A statement qualified for deferred compilation is compiled at the first execution of the stored procedure. Those statements that are not executed the first time the stored procedure is invoked, for example statements omitted due to IF clauses, are not compiled until a subsequent execution of the stored procedure actually executes these statements.
Once a conditional statement is compiled, whether at the first or at a subsequent procedure execution, it is integrated into the query plan and is not recompiled.
Queries that reference procedure parameters previously were compiled and optimized only with the the value of those parameters upon entry to the stored procedure. In versions 15.0.2 and later, these statements are optimized with the parameter values they had when the query was first executed. If the parameter value alters during the course of the stored procedure execution, the current value is used in optimization.
You can switch off deferred compilation by starting the server with the global switch -T7730.
