I seriously doubt that. I'm a Windows/System i SE, and i spend as much
time on staying current with the i as i spend on staying current with
Windows.

Of course you can leave an i unmaintened for years and it will
probably still work, but that doesn't mean that doing so would be a
good idea.

Well, the DBA staff here is separate from the programming staff and the
sysadmin staff. From what I understand, the DBAs write "stored
procedures" to do the actual SQL. There is supposedly no SQL embedded in
any application. The application calls/invokes the stored procedure to
do the database work.

Wow! Actual, proper and modern development practices in a host shop.
I'm impressed.
