Re: Chalk one up for "The Cycle"

It is when the rogue programmer _decides on their own_ to use something

different

I like that Bob. Rogue Programmer. Sounds like a movie title....lots of
explosions....

What needs to be done is not say "Use X or your dog will die" what needs

to be

said is that you need to make yourself valuable to your organization.

Make

yourself part of a solution. Make your company understand that you can

and want

to do this or that application with the System i; it can do it.

Maybe IBM's System i slogan should not be "I want i", but rather "i can

do iT".

Well said. Too bad IBM's slogan appears to be "milk 'em for all their
worth and don't worry about new installs"

On the subject of the cycle vs. SQL. Every tool has it's place in the
garage, it's our job to decide which tool to use to maximize efficiency.
But we all have our favorite tools. =) (Mine's a sawzall!)
