Re: Query/SQL/Excel

<snip>
So the question is what SQL 'editor' can I use to sit between an ODBC
connection to the iSeries and Excel? I realise this is not necessarily
an
iSeries specific question, but I can't be the only person here who wants

You can have the best of both worlds.

Create a query using WRKQRY and then do a:

RTVQMQRY QMQRY(YOURQRY)
SRCFILE(MYLIB/QSRCF)
ALWQRYDFN(*YES)

This retrieves the sql for a given query.

The other better solution to anything that accesses the AS/400 from the
PC is use a stored procedure. Encapsulate all the processing in the
stored procedure (RPG or SQL language) and just call if from Excel.
Excel just gets the results.
