Re: IBM i "Open I/O" Architecture

This all is whelming me.
If I am following the discussion at all, it seems to me that the difference lies in doing the PF creation just once for a file.
After that, the file is available from then on, to all the programmers, by simply using an F-spec?

How about Oracle, etc??


Hmmm.. I'm just brainstorming here, I don't know all of the details of the Open I/O support. But here is what I suspect:

a) You'd create a PF on i with the same fields & keys as the oracle file. (Potentially, you could get the DDL used to create the table on oracle, and use it to create the same table on i)

This would give you the external definition of the file.

b) You'd write handlers that received the key and record information, and used it to build the appropriate SQL statements to get the record from Oracle,and then return it back.


Is this easier than just running the SQL statement to begin with? IMHO, probably not.
