RE: Data access across libraries

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's happening because you are using JDBC.  The fix is to stop using JDBC.

<SOAPBOX>

JDBC is the single technique most likely to cause the AS/400 to fail as a
platform.  It is much slower than native access, and so removes the AS/400's
natural advantage as a database server, turning the world's fastest database
machine into a mediocre JDBC server.  Once that advantage is gone, the end
user looks to price as a differentiator, and the AS/400 isn't likely to beat
anybody at the price game.

Also, used in a client program, JDBC ties your clients to the exact layout
of your database, and in effect ties your database to your clients!  You can
no longer make any sort of significant changes to your database (such as
changing library, field or file names, or changing field characteristics)
without having to rewrite your JDBC programs.

</SOAPBOX>

Y'all want to respond to that statement, it's okay.  I'm too busy to defend
it for the next couple of weeks, so have at it <grin>.
