The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I could certainly be mistaken, but since that sort of metadata is stored within the file object on OS400, why would SQL need to store row counts in a database? I don't think you'll find it in the catalog views... <<
In all real RDBSs, the "metadata" for all tables, rows, columns, indexes, etc., is contained in the system catalogs, NOT in each table object. This so you and the optimizer, etc., only has to look in one place to find all "metadata" for all tables, etc. And, it's not SQL that's storing this data in the real RDBMS, its the database engine.
Nick and Buck, Already went down that route for each of the libraries of which I'm interested; how very antiquated... at the library/schema level and not the database level.
Thanks anyway, I was hoping DB2/400 had matured to a real DB2 but, alas, no. I can only hope it soon will.
Thanks again,
Dave
