Ahh, that makes me think of something we've rarely discussed here - QM procedures. These are source members with multiple QM statements, which can include connecting, then running a QMQRY, saving to a local database, disconnecting, etc.

Check out Query Management Programming manual -- NOT Query Manager, for which you need a license. InfoCenter->Database-Manuals, I think.

Rick,

I don't think SQL will let you do this in a simple statement.  Probably
takes an SQL procedure to do this, but don't really know.  However, since
you're using QM Query, you're in luck.  Just do this as a select, connecting
to the remote database.  Then to run, use STRQMQRY OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(LIB/FILEOUT) OUTMBR(*FIRST *REPLACE) to save the result set to your
local file.  The sql executes on the remote box, and returns results only.

Subject: SQL - insert into local file, select from connected RDB


Hey all,


is it possible for SQL to be connected to a local and a remote RDB dir
entry?

I will be using Query manager.

for instance:

CONNECT remoteRDB

insert
  into   localfile
select   *
  from   remotefile
 where   fld = something

If not, any other brilliant ideas are most welcome.

i don't have the sql product on this box, so SQLRPGLE is out of the
question.

The file is huge, so DDM is probably out of the question - I just want a
small subset of the data extracted from the remote file.  That's why I'd
like to use SQL, it runs a ton faster than CPYF.

Thanks!

Rick
