Re: SQL with connections to multiple databases

<Mark>
Do you need to disconnect from the remote DB? You can be connected to
multiple machines concurrently, and just switch between connections with

SET CONNECTION server name;
</Mark>

... it depends (how it's often...) - that's true for connect type 2 (*DUW
:= distributed unit of work). If you are using connect type 1 (*RUW :=
remote unit of work) a new connect will end the current connect. *RUW could
be set by the crtsqlxxxi command (*DUW is the default).

I thought I said that, though if he were using connection type 1, it would
be simply a matter of connecting to the next database since that would
disconnect from the current database.

Set option is another way to influence the compile time settings, but this
should only have scope of the crtsqlxxx command, meaning module level, but
in my experience this has been buggy from time to time. I would try to get
the settings of the compile of the programm (you don't have the source) if
possible by using PRTSQLINF, trying afterwards, if the problem is
reproducable by a similar programm. For me it's looking like not having the
exact problem description - there seems something missing.
