Re: Censoring SQL access -- ideas?

Heee!

I can just see the performance nightmares that can crop up on that <grin>.

But that's not a criticism - a bulldozer can do a lot more damage than a shovel. The more power, the greater the responsibility to use it correctly.

Sure, if you're running in DB2 for LUW, Oracle, MS SQL Server....

But not on IBM i...

In fact, those other DB's can join tables across platforms, not just
remote DB's on the same platform.

Somebody else mentioned this to me, Tommy. I should know more about
this. I'm going to do some research. Can you JOIN files in two
different databases?

Sure it can be done with SQL. You set up an RDB entry pointing to the
other system and use CONNECT to access the data on the remote system.

Thanks,
