You are using a DDL called DDS. It doesn't change the fact that the
underlying database is relational. And you may access it using RPG.
We're unique in that we have RLA as well as SQL access. It doesn't
change the fact that the underlying database is relational. It's not
that the database isn't relational - it's that the majority of i users
don't describe it or access it using relational techniques. DB2 on the
i has all the relational bells and whistles - referential integrity,
stored procedures, tables, views, indexes, collections, etc. We may or
may not use these techniques, but they're still there.

Hi,

In the Redbook Stored Procedures, Triggers, and User-Defined Functions on DB2 Universal Database for iSeries,

I read : Several years ago a survey pointed out that a significant percentage of iSeries server customers did not even know that all of their business data is stored in a relational database.

I am one of those customers, I guess. Can someone point out to me how is it that my database is relational? I use only DDS.

Thanks
