Re: Multi-member files - Big picture feedback

Booth,

No problem on your questions... those are the kind I like to see.

The answer is that DB2/400 in recent years has had the CAPABILITY to do
most anything required of an good RDBMS.... the problem is the community
that designs and creates the applications or tries to modernize existing
ones.    So the i5 CAN be a world-class competitor in the RDBMS sphere 
IF its development community modernizes their thinking and execution
with regard to data base and program design and languages and "sells"
the i5 accordingly.    This so the platform compete well in the RDBMS
marketplace.   This, of course, has a lot of ramifications on people's
lives if it does not.

Take care,

Dave
