BTW, I started interactive SQL via STRSQL and entered the following command;

CREATE DATABASE

and then pressed F4 and received the following message at the bottom of the
screen;

DATABASE or SCHEMA changed to COLLECTION.

the MSGID is SQL6121 and the Additional text is;

 Message . . . . :   DATABASE or SCHEMA changed to COLLECTION.

 Cause . . . . . :   DATABASE and SCHEMA are provided as alternate keywords
for
   COLLECTION for compatibility. COLLECTION is the preferred term.

 Recovery  . . . :   None Required.


we are on v4r5

Thanks

Hello Martin,

But it does support that syntax.  Type CREATE DATABASE FREDNURK into ISQL
(i.e., STRSQL) and watch what happens.

DROP DATABASE FREDNURK works too.

It also works from a source file processed by RUNSQLSTM.  This is at 440
but I'm sure that support has been around for ages.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
