Have to understand your frame of mind Paul. Would you let users, or even
a power user, use Query/400? Some IT staff won't for a number of reasons:
- Explaining to the users that you have to join this file to that file and
add this field to that field, etc is too time consuming and IT refuses to
build a decent view or join logical. (Though the same IT staff would
think nothing of preloading "metadata" into a GUI tool - go figure.)
- The users should use the existing programs or request new ones. They've
seen users make faulty business decisions based on query results that the
programs wouldn't have led them to do.
