Re: When creating an Index table with a constraint, I want to include all fields

Nice, Timothy!

FYI, and SQL index - without specifying the columns - is basically a kind of table that has only the columns of the index key, plus a reference to the relative record number, which I don't see in the RDi outline when using an index in RPG. This is how the SQL optimizer can make some SELECTs run faster, by using an index-only probe if the WHERE clause refers only to the key fields, in order.

I'm curious about how you displayed the data, as you say in your original post - the only way I can think of is to specify the index in a file-spec in RPG and read it, we can't directly read an index with SQL, we can't do a DSPPGM on it - of course, you could do a DMPOBJ on it, right?

Cheers
Vern

SUCCESS! I just needed to ADD ALL COLUMNS to the script... as well as the format of course. Thanks everyone.
