Hi Buck,
When creating a view with System naming conventions, all unqualified
specified tables and views used in the SELELECT statement are resolved (at
compile time) from the current library.
If the view itself is specified unqualified, it is created within the QGPL
library.
When using SQL naming conventions, all unqualified specified tables and
views used in the SELECT statement are resolved from the CURRENT or DEFAULT
schema. If the current schema is not explicitly set with SET SCHEMA, the
schema with the same name as the SESSION_USER is used.
If the view itself is specified unqualified it is create with in the
CURRENT/DEFAULT schema
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: SQL *SYSTEM naming default schema rule?
I have a situation on 7.2 where I want to create a view without qualifying
the name. That is, I want to use the library list. I've read the
documentation at
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_ibm_i_72/db2/rbafzqualun1.htm
which says 'For system naming, the default schema is the job library list
(*LIBL).'
I don't know what that means.
cl: chglibl (libsql1 libsql2);
-- this goes into QGPL
create table table_master
(id int,
text char(25));
-- this goes into LIBSQL1
create view view_zero
(id, text)
as (select id, text from table_master);
-- make a child table in a different library in *LIBL create table
libsql2.table_child2
(id int,
text char(25));
-- this goes into LIBSQL2
create view view_two_subselect
(m_id, m_text, c_id, c_text)
as (select m.id, m.text, m.foreign_key, (select text from table_child2)
from table_master m);
Three separate CREATE statements, three separate destinations. Is there a
reference for what is supposed to happen?
This came up because a colleague is convinced that CREATE VIEW with an
unqualified view name will put the new view into the first library in the
library list. He determined this empirically some years ago, and got
surprised today that his script put a new view farther down in the *LIBL.
