SQL Option, by default, uses dynamic SQL. However, depending on your application the use of static SQL can have a significant impact on performance. Most applications will run faster when executing static as opposed to dynamic SQL. Also, default qualifiers can be specified during the bind to allow a program to use a particular AUTHID to qualify one part table names when the user does not have authority to execute a SET CURRENT SQLID command. Many sites are reluctant to use SET CURRENT SQLID since it may require SYSADM authority to execute.
