Re: DB2 Query Manager - newbie questions

Dan,

    Our ShowMe/400 product maintains a data dictionary of information about your
files, and it will know how to link files together.  Notice I didn't use the 
word
join, as we don't join but use RPG Chain to link files together on reads.  This
reduces the excessive overhead normally associated with Query.  Once the Data
Dictionary learns how to use two files together, the user would never need to
know or understand how to join these files together.  For more information visit
http:www.os-solutions.com on the web, or send me a private email.
