Product Description
From basic terminology and syntax to copious examples of real-life code, this is the complete guide to SQL/400. It offers a thorough grounding in the program for novices, but even very experienced AS/400 programmers will find it an invaluable guide to such issues as how to embed SQL within an RPG program, how to use SQL on distributive databases, how to embed SQL statements within an HLL program, and much more.
Customer Reviews & Comments This is the only book that I have found which provides reasonably comprehensive coverage of the SQL capabilities which have been introduced on the AS/400 since V4. It provides a good reference for the AS/400 syntax of functions such as CASE, CAST, and various date functions that aren't covered will on other books that I have seen. This book is better as a reference tool than as an introductory tutorial.
