Isn't that like walking out of an interview when learning the shop uses
COBOL instead of RPG?

You have to use the *LOCALSYS server for SEQUEL to use SQE - if you have
lots of views built over time, they are not likely to be set for that
server.

If you want to use IBM i syntax, set the SYNTAX parameter to server when
SERVER is *LOCALSYS

Vern,

While you are partially correct, that *LOCALSYS will allow SQL statements to
go to SQE, the problem is that SEQUEL attempts to translate the SEQUEL
syntax into a valid DB2 for i syntax, but the translation is messy at best
and does not utilize the latests join techniques.

Not that I don't like the product, but I have immediately walked out in the
middle of an interview when I was told that SEQUEL was their primary tool.
