Re: How to develop, test and debug QM (Query Manager) SQL queries in WDSCi 7?

Bill,
You can develop your SQL in WDSc using one of the DB Plug-ins or use the STRSQL (green screen) or the INav DB tool, then copy the completed SQL to a source member and use that to create your QM Query.
From the QM Query, change the selection from Prompt to SQL, then save the Query in a source file.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] How to develop, test and debug QM (Query Manager) SQL queries in WDSCi 7?


Hi all:

The DB plug-in thread motivated me to share a problem with you that I've
been kicking around for a while.

We are using QM (Query Manager ... STRQM) on the System i to execute SQL
queries. We also use QM forms and procedures.

The SQL can be exported from QM into a source data base memeber and
imported to QM.

I called IBM to ask if WDSCi supported QM and was told basically "no".

I am looking for some ideas on how do approach these tasks.

- Develop, test and debug SQL in WDSCi then import it into QM.
- Export SQL from QM into WDSCi, work on it, then import it from WDSCi
into QM.

Am I missing something simple?

Thanks all.
