Re: Changing database to SQL from DDS

[HankHeath@xxxxxxx]

I've been working in a system that uses both DDS and SQL for a few years now. 
Now, I'm migrating the DB2 to another server. It's been cake, so far. Major 
hurdles to overcome have been: (1) reconciling key structures and indices for 
performance; (2) handling cursors for what used to be simple processes in 
RPG. Good luck.
