Re: RDI updates

I love using Data-Studio for testing Stored-Procedures. It is very simple and easy to test stored procedures!

For SQL Statements, I prefer/love SquirrelSQL.org. It just works, and no hassles...

Somehow, my PC can use Java...

Ah, I see what you refer to - the Data Development perspective shows the same listing as Navigator.

I'll still hold off on Data Studio - it really did do something to help setup the last time I did - maybe others have had better luck.

Cheers

I have tried the Data Development perspective, and it seems adequate
for some stuff, like displaying table data and even modifying it.

I don't think any of these tools recognize logical files as indexes -
I think the "explorer" in Data Development perspective sees them as
views, no index.

And I don't think DS is much better in that regard.

I'll mostly stick with the support in Navigator.

Until something better comes along. Toad and Squirrel must won't cut
it, either, as they really know nothing about IBM i.

What the client tooling sees is what the SQL catalog VIEW queries
or respective "API" invocations reveal. The SYSINDEXES catalog VIEW
has selection specifically including only database files identified by
the System Database Cross-Reference (DBXREF) as an INDEX; i.e. in the
WHERE clause is the predicate:
... AND IX.DBXATR = 'IX'
