RE: SQL finally "free'd"???

Is SQL finally "free'd"?
Answer: Yes.

In the next release SQL statements will be allowed in free format.

What they need to do is "free" up all specs on in RPG, not only the "C"
specs.

If you have iSeries Navigator you already have a tool to analyze your
SQL statements.  It's called visual explain and appears as an option
when you click on the database for an iSeries connection.  It sounds
like IBM is either replacing it or enhancing it for V5R4.

Interesting paragraph in today's issue of The Four Hundred by Timothy
Prickett Morgan

IBM is working to make SQL programming a little bit easier
from inside RPG, and will also add a graphical SQL performance
monitor to help iSeries shops understand the performance
implications of their SQL queries and code--this sounds like
a great feature.

I wonder if this the "freeing of SQL in RPG-free"?

And it didn't explicitly tie this to V5R4, but the context of the
article
was on i5/OS V5R4

Comments?
