Subfile with PO header & detail... After verifying data input.

Begin commit
Insert into poheader (fields) (values);
Insert into podetail (fields) (poline1), (poline2), (poline3)...
Insert into podistribution (fields) (distributionpoline1),
(distributionpoline2)...
commit

Not that I've seen an application do this, but after the validation routines
runs, why couldn't it write to the database this way?

Subject: Re: Multiple Row Insert in SQL?


What business ap would do it this way though?  Let's see, someone is 
entering orders.  I'm not supposed to write out orders until they've:
- entered a certain number of orders
- exit the program
- or I time out the program and exit it for them?
Sure would be heck if someone cancelled the job because of some record 
lock, maintenance, etc.

Re: Multiple Row Insert in SQL?






Unfortunately that syntax is not available at V5R2 in the iSeries version 
of DB2 - it is in all the others. Maybe we can hope. Because a single 
statement with multiple sets of values runs better than multiple 
statements, each with 1 set of values. This is an optimization 
recommendation in the other flavors of DB2.

So, for the moment anyway, out of luck.
