Presentation Description: Come see why Dynamic Definition Language, used by SQL to define files, should be in your toolbox to displace the traditional DDS or Data Definition Specifications. The evolution of the iSeries/i5 has resulted in a mix of old and new technologies. Most notably are the methods used to create, populate and manipulate databases. Many iSeries/i5 application developers have embraced modern tools for creating front end masterpieces to their existing data; however the underlying foundation, the database itself, has been woefully neglected. Basically the existing databases were created using a tool known as DDS (Data Description Specification). All other Relational Database Management Systems (RDMS) use Structured Query Language, or SQL, to define the database. As IBM continues to enhance DB2 UDB for iSeries (e.g. the new and improved SQL Query Engine, more efficient data access methods, new database primitives, etc) the decision to use SQL over traditional methods will no longer be if, but when. In fact, many iSeries/i5 shops are developing all new applications using SQL. In addition, the use of SQL defined databases may result in improved throughput as a result in changes to the underlying architecture. About our Speaker for January 9th: Robert Berendt is an associate of Group Dekko Services. There he maintains four iSeries supporting a total of nine lpars, one of which is running Linux. Other duties include maintaining the thirty Domino servers running underneath i5/os, Linux and Windows.
