SQL Primer

when this contributor (Al Mac) learns how to do NEW pages, I may attempt some kind of tutorial introduction to SQL because I do not have a single SQL manual, just a bunch of articles, that I study assiduously. Al Mac, 28 May 2005 (CST)

STRSQL

More info from main SQL page.

If your security will let you do this,

• get to a 400 command line and key in STRSQL and enter, which brings up something that LOOKS like a command line.
• Then key in SELECT and do F4 ... which brings up various lines where you can get at directory of libraries on your 400 ...
• pick 1 or more ...
• then pick what files you want to do some SQL access against ...
• then pick what fields to include in your SQL on the fly ... .
