RE: Translating SQL Server stored procedure to DB2 stored procedure

Scott, 
DB2 UDB for iSeries supports returning multiple result sets but what you've
shown will not work with DB2 since it doesn't look like standard SQL syntax.
Syntax you've shown looks simpler for sure, but IBM's committed to sticking
with standards.

Checkout these two links for examples how to do it.  It's actually pretty
easy.

And finally, I strongly recommend your .NET developer downloads redbook
"Stored Procedures, Triggers and User Defined Functions on DB2 Universal
Database for iSeries" available at this link:

I find it very useful.
Good luck with your project.

Subject: Translating SQL Server stored procedure to DB2 stored procedure


Below is an example of a SQL Server 2000 stored procedure
that we use in a query tool that we built for one
of our web-based Wintel applications.  It is called
from a C#.NET application.

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.prc_AH_GetReportsList AS

select * from ah_objects
select ReportID,ObjectID,ReportName,ReportDescription,DateCreated,
UserIDCreated,isnull(DateModified,'') as DateModified,
isnull(UserIDModified,'') as UserIDModified,Private,
UserNameCreated, isnull(UserNameModified,'') as UserNameModified from
AH_Reports

We now want to extend this query tool so it can access our DB2 databases
for our iSeries application using the .NET data provider included with
iSeries
Access.

My .NET developer is asking if a DB2 stored procedure can return data
via multiple select statements (as shown above) without the use of record
sets?

Based on his research so far, it seems like using cursors and multiple
records
sets is the only way.  We are working against a V5R3 server for this
project.

Thanks.
