Re: Oracle in system i termonology

You may find you'd have been better off to learn SQL on the i and then
goto oracle.

IBM sticks pretty close to the standards, whereas Oracle and MS SQL
each have lots of vender unique syntax.

A statement that works on i will 99% of the time work on Oracle and MS
SQL. But the reverse is not true.

Actually I am hoping that my exposure to Oracle and using SQL more extensively will help me back in the i world as the economy gets better eventually. In my cuurent work, I have no choice but to use SQL whereas to tell the truth at my last job I only used RPG because I could, perhaps being lazy about it. Now circumstances have forced me to use SQL only so I will finally learn  this well and more.

Adam,
Try posting your question to jdelist.com in one of the Enterprise
