Re: Recommendation for a good iSeries SQL reference?

Walden,

I am pretty much referring to basic SQL statements, but probably from a more
advanced (technical) perspective, so I wouldn't exactly call it "basic". I
found a really good online reference at
http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/generic/0,295582,sid41_gci1075959,00.html
that has a wide range of examples, however, it is geared specifically toward
Microsoft & Oracle SQL. As most of us on the list know, IBM's (iSeries) DB2
has some special nuances that make coding SQL statements a little bit more
difficult. In short, while a general purpose SQL manual might be a good read
for understanding basic SQL, I was hoping to find something more specific
and/or advanced that would be able to help me cut down on the trial and
error coding cycle.
