Feel free to disagree, but here's the quote from the Modernizing IBM eServer iSeries Application Data Access, "For example, SQL does not support the concept of multi-member files." While the ALIAS command does know about members and ALIAS an ALIAS can be used to allow the other SQL commands access to a particular member, I think it's fair to say that SQL doesn't have any concept of multiple members. Certainly the RDBMS itself does, but SQL does not. Interesting, in v5r3....IBM has added support for partitioned tables. How are these supported? Via multi member physical files! http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/ic2924/index.htm?info/dbmult/partitionedtables.htm But SQL accesses the data as if it was all in the same member.
