Book Description

From basic terminology and syntax to copious examples of real-life code, this is the complete guide to SQL/400. It offers a thorough grounding in the program for novices, but even very experienced AS/400 programmers will find it an invaluable guide to such issues as how to embed SQL within an RPG program, how to use SQL on distributive databases, how to embed SQL statements within an HLL program, and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good reference guide for SQL commands, October 29, 1999

Steven Y Canter (scanter@ix.netcom.com) (Buffalo Grove, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SQL/400 by Example (Paperback)

This is the only book that I have found which provides reasonably comprehensive coverage of the SQL capabilities which have been introduced on the AS/400 since V4. It provides a good reference for the AS/400 syntax of functions such as CASE, CAST, and various date functions that aren't covered will on other books that I have seen. This book is better as a reference tool than as an introductory tutorial.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: SQL/400 by Example (Paperback)

I was looking to buy one good, comprehensive reference book re: SQL/400. This is not it. Too basic, with limited examples. Most functions are covered with one paragraph descriptions, with the whole book coming in a skinny, soft-covered, and under a half inch thick.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too basic. Not even a good summary of AS/400 manual., September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SQL/400 by Example (Paperback)

This book is better easy reading with very little insight to the more intricate functions of SQL for the 400. Might be useful if you have never programmed SQL.
