Re: Query Tools

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

We are still using Query.  We've looked at other tools that claim to be more 
user 
friendly.  What it boils down to is this: The other tools require the same back 
end 
setup that decent logical files do.  Some of the other tools support the HAVING 
clause of SQL, (not available in Query, but available in Query Manager/400 as 
part 
of the 57xx-ST1 package).  Query feeds nice into Office Vision/400.  However 
IBM 
has a problem with integrated solutions and is canning Office Vision.

Subject:        Query Tools

I am trying to determine what the trend (if there is one) is for AS/400
shops using query tools.  Are you using Query on the 400, query manager on
the 400, or a PC based query tool - like Crystal Reports or Cognos Impromptu
or NGS Query tool, or ACS SQL, MS Access, or...

What I am looking for is the answers for the following:
What are you using (duh!)?
DO you like it and why?
Are your users able to do their own and why or why not?
Have you researched other tools (like the PC based ones)?
If PC based have you found performance issues?
How do you restrict user performance impacts?

Any other comment or thought you want to give me on the topic would be
greatly appreciated.

If you respond to the midrange list, please copy me directly (it's easier to
pull out).

Thanks

John
