i wasn't saying it can't be done via SQL in programming languages but that
using the language's provided functionality to access data is no more a
"back door" or security risk as using SQL ...FWIW have you ever heard the
term SQL injection attack? i've never heard of such a term related to
native DB access (regardless of platform, etc.)

SQL is just as susceptible (if not more so) that any other construct for
manipulating data.

Thanks,

Tommy,

SQL can be used in most any modern programming language so there's no
problem unless you insist unless your RDBMs allows back door access
methods like i5/ISAM (I use that to differentate because the same is not
also true of MVS nor VM ISAM and their DB2s), such as READ, CHAIN, etc.

I know it sounds odd because the i5 world has never been oriented to truly
relational.
