Answer / jessica
A plan is an executable module containing the access path
logic produced by the DB2 optimizer. It can be composed of
one or more DBRMs and packages. Before a DB2 for z/OS
program (with static SQL) can be run, it must have a plan
associated with it.
Plans are created by the BIND command. The plan is stored in
the DB2 directory and accessed when its program is run.
Information about the plan is stored in the DB2 catalog.

A db2 plan contains collections which in turn contains
packages.
