My issue w/DDS is twofold...
The VARLEN keyword in DDS is great for "comment" fields. I've never used BLOBs. I prefer storing stream files in the IFS and attaching references to records. Then generate HTML pages with hyperlinks to stream files.
I like DDS because of it's simple syntax. Most of my tables are under 10K rows. Read/Write performance is not much different at that size. I validate data via RPG before writing it to a table.
Of course, I understand that there are cases where it makes more sense to define tables with SQL. That's where a DDS to SQL CL command would be helpful.
Nathan.
