Re: Help solve an argument: Reading a SQL index in RPG?

we're reading the SQL objects using native RPG methods (read, chain,
setll, etc.).

One of my co-workers insists on using the SQL indexes we've built as
if they are tables and reading them directly.

When you write 'converting our database from DDS to SQL' do you mean:
1) Mechanical column by column exact recreation of the DDS using DDL
2) Redesigning the database from the ground up to use normalised tables
