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 use long names religiously.
create table rjsflow.somelongname ... ;
select * from rjsflow.somelongname;
Notice I also use SQL naming convention. Just as religiously. I can do this on a 5250 from STRSQL or more often from OpsNav or java JDBC.
DB2/400 stores the long names somewhere; I don't know where and I don't need to know. DB2/400 will make up a short name (or I can use the LABEL statement) for the name it puts on the file in the library. For most of the stuff I do, I don't ever use the short name.

Subject: SQL database object names longer than 10 characters and mixed case?
I gather that is is possible to have SQL database object names on the System i that are longer than 10 characters and mixed case. This could be SQL tables, views, triggers, etc. I just can't see where they would be used or stored. Perhaps in the IFS?
Has anyone actually used these long names, and if so, could you give me an example? (Not the actual SQL code, but just a sample name, where you would store in on the system, and what type of application would use it.)
Thanks.
