Tom,

Yeah, that's pretty much it. The easiest way to create the DDL is via System i Navigator under the Database/Schema tree. After you create the table, you can right click on the table and use the Generate SQL source. One of the options is to save it to a source member. I always save them to their own source physical file and apply a source type of SQL. One can then use the RUNSQLSTM to execute these (or other) SQL statements.

Subject: Confused about DDL and DDS

I have been searching through the archives and the web.

I want to create a data base file using DDL. Is DDL just a text file created with PDM with a CREATE statement in it? I did not see any examples anywhere except CREATE statements. I never saw the equivalent of DDS for the CREATE to look at.

I do not see a source type DDL in PDM.

Signed, confused in Ebensburg...
