Re: AS/6000

PeopleSoft used the AS/400 almost exclusively as a database server.  They
have programmers who brag about being able to fit an entire complex program
into one humongous SQL statement.  Not only that, but in some cases these
humongous statements are generated dynamically on the fly.  These are
sometimes called "Queries from Hell" by those who have had to deal with the
resulting performance and service problems.  PASE wouldn't have done
anything to simplify or assist with all of their database I/O; embedded SQL
is not supported from the PASE environment.

I'd just like to know why a vendor like PeopleSoft is dropping their
AS/400 support with something like this available.
