Hi, Tim, I recommend going to <www.iseries.ibm.com/db2>, where you can find a number of things. I think thisi sone of the best-kept secrets on IBM web sites, BTW. On the main page there is a link to "Coding Examples".

Some books can be found at iseriesnetwork.com and elsewhere.

As far as other examples, they convert fairly easily to AS/400 SQL - there is a standard, after all, that each platform hohors, for the most part. Sometimes the difference is merely removing a semicolon from the end of a statement. Other areas that have some differences are in date calculations.

I was wondering if anybody would be interested in posting SQL statements
they have used in the past, that goes beyond the basic select statement.  I
would like to use SQL for more complicated queries, but my knowledge is
limited in what it can really do...  I have looked through the red books,
but all I see our the keywords and not any real examples.  And when I try
some of the examples I see on the web pages in the world, they work for MS
sql, but not our DB2 flavor.

Ideas,  (case, unions, subselects, pivots)

Or whats the best iseries sql book, with nice examples...

Thanks, tim
