files go where in the library list.
It's never been a problem. May be I am wrong because I don't come from a
green field site. We have lots RPG and SQL working with each other all
over
the place, loads of OVRDBF's and CRTDUPOBJ's to QTEMP, all that lovely
goodness that keep u head scratching.
When we use *SYS naming it plays nice, when we use *SQL it doesn't.
Also we have over 30 test environments on our dev box all sharing the same
code base but with different data (controlled by library list) again *SQL
does not allow this (or more accurately I have never been able to get it
to
work).
This makes me question, have we taken the wrong approach to test env's,
how
are you guys doing it?
Thanks
neill

.. must be a joke, you have a database supporting referential integrity
constraints and then you are saying "I don't mind where the item comes
from
belonging to the order". LIBL is great for programs, but not for locating
tables or views.

the
opposite
of
why I like *SYS. I originally came from a PC .net background and when I--
was
first introduced to the iSeries Library list I couldn't believe how much
flexibility it offers.
There is nothing like it out there on the other RDBMS's and is up there
in
my eyes with the classpath!!
This is something you lose when you use *SQL.
Anyway each to their own :-)

First, just to remind myself I'm using a full-featured, modern database
on
i.
Second, to keep consistent with other database engines I might have to
use.
Third, to keep my skills portable.
I could probably come up with more, but those top the list at the moment.

Just out of interest, what are your reasons for using SQL naming
convention?

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.

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.
