You can blame me... To my way of thinking these are system APIs as support
for the function is in the i operating system (I do not need the SQL product
installed to use them). To my simplistic view of the world this is the same
as not needing the C compiler installed in order to utilize C run-time APIs
(and I certainly want C run-time functions to show up in the API Finder).

I readily admit the database group wasn't too hot on putting the SQL program
interfaces into the API section, but as it is system function they also
didn't argue for too long. And I was on a personal mission at the time to
have one central place to go for programming interfaces that operated
independent of a given high level language.

).

IMO, SQL commands are *NOT* API's ... they are language constructs.
