James,

"The availability of SQL access is neither a sufficient condition for a
database system to be relational, nor a necessary one.

The same can also be said for the lack of availability of other forms of
access."

But, the accepted fact in world-class RDBMS world (DB2 mainframe, ORACLE)

"You seem to be the only one here with that opinion."
On here, what would you expect?

And if anybody outside the OS/400 world looks askance at the OS/400 implementation of
DB2, the most likely explanation that comes to my mind is that their
implementations aren't built into the operating system, much less into
the licensed internal code."

What has that got to do with anything? But what is of relevance is that mainframe DB2 and ORACLE are the acknowledged leader in the RDBMS world; DB2/400 isn't even talked about in that realm. Too bad but it doesn't have viability in the market place like DB2 mainframe and ORACLE.
