Re: separate DEV, TEST, & PROD environments survey

Hi, all:

I recall many years ago one of my friends who worked for IBM Rochester used to refer to the QSYS.LIB file system as "The DB2 file system".

For that matter, every single RDBMS I'm familiar with only allows a single level
of schemas.
I gather that you mean the "catalog" or "database" parameter referenced on RDBMS "connection" strings. At any rate, I like the analogy. They don't offer an option to define or connect to a database within a database within a database. Likewise, IBM i doesn't offer an option to define or connect to a library within a library within a library (with the exception of QSYS).

Referencing files and other objects within IBM i libraries is essentially similar to referencing RDBMS objects within a "catalog" or "database".
