I had to laugh a few years ago when I was told that MS-SQL Server was
introducing some great new features - like row level locking. Gee,
we've only had that since day one of the S/38. The AS/400 (that was the
name at the time) people in the room just laughed. But it got better
when the announcement went on to say that "ALL" you needed to do to take
advantage was to unload and reload the entire database. Then, we looked
like the laughing boardroom IBM commercials.....

Michael,

You can use SQL to create, maintain, and delete the tables. I believe
that
counts as a DDL. You can write trigger programs in SQL, RPG, COBOL, CL
and
a few other languages I can't think of now. Constraints are there if
you
want to use them. It is not the same database as it was 25 years ago.
It,
like the PC and the AS400/iSeries/i5, they have all evolved. V5R4 has
more
functionality in SQL than V5R3 did.
