What could possibly have given you that idea?


Umm...I can read? If you disagree, say so. :-)

Can you suggest a better way to automate the creation of SQL tables and views, than to call RUNSQLSTM from a CL program?


Yes. Use iNav's "Run SQL Scripts..." or even use stored procedures.

Conversely, how would adding the ability to process a naked SELECT (as opposed to one encapsulated in the creation of a VIEW) be useful in RUNSQLSTM, given that we have STRSQL and various iNav functions (not to mention freeware utilities like SQUIRREL) for that?

My point exactly.


FWIW, I'll stay away from RUNSQLSTM (no T :-) ) in production. But, I will stipulate that others may have differing opinions/viewpoints concerning same.
