RE: DB2 table vs Physical files

Thanx James,
 
Is there any data conversion (encryption or anything else) involved while 
extracting data from AS400 to windows...

Noting that files can be created either from DDS or from SQL:

They look about the same either way to QuestView, except that those
created from SQL can have a few extra data types, some of which QuestView
can't access (and others of which QV can access even though they aren't
*supposed* to be accessible from non-SQL programs).

Likewise, if I look at them using Colin Bell's Java-based "Squirrel" SQL
client (a bit nutty, but it works), it can't tell the difference between
DDS-created and SQL-created files.
