Objet : RE: Tables and PFs
Agreed. It's just semantics. Table and file are
interchangeable just as row and record are. My boss, who
does a heck of a lot more SQL on PC apps than I do on IBM i
apps, and I often talk about the systems and he will say,
"Row," and I will says, "Record." Neither of us have a
problem understanding the other.
In formal documentation I try to use the term "table," but
will frequently in conversation use "file." Either way, it's
a database object.
There are more important things to get bugged about.

Subject: RE: Tables and PFs
Is there a simple way to explain the difference between atable and a
physical file a part from one is created by SQL and theother with DDS?
Should it bug me when a coworker says table but means a PF? It does
and I'm not sure why.
The difference between a table and a physical file is the
same as the difference between a thing and an object.
Well, that is unless the table you're referring to is the
thing that holds your supper. There is a difference there, I
hope. :)
I'm not sure why it bothers you either. But I am sure that
it shouldn't.
