I won't say it!   ;-)

If you go deep enough, everything uses storage management tasks in SLIC. But we don't get to see most of that. The thing to look at is the call stack while using native IO and again while running SQL. And when you get to V5R2 and up, you need to check whether you end up going through the classic query engine (CQE) or the new one (SQE). You will see completely different code paths. Yes, records are mostly read with QDBGETM, etc., but there's a lot above that in the call stack that will differ between native and SQL. Getting there is half the fun!

Who doesn't say that traditional I/O and SQL aren't the same under the
covers?  Maybe they are.  After all, sooner or later it boils down to
accessing the IOP.  It's just what wrappers are used, eh?
