TechTip: Unraveling SQL Error Messages Using SELF
The SQL Error Logging Facility (SELF) is a new tool that can help you find and understand SQL errors and warnings.
By Sarah Mackenzie
SQL has become the standard method for communication with your database. You can use SQL to create and modify your database tables, insert or update data in your table, or access data in your database. More-complex SQL features allow you to create triggers, procedures, and functions to perform more-complicated operations. Additionally, IBM i SQL services provide you with new ways of interacting with everything IBM i that isn’t the database. However, if an error occurs while using SQL to perform these tasks, it can cause significant problems in your applications. It thus becomes very important to proactively find and fix these errors before they become problems.

Programming in ILE RPG - Creating and Using Files: Creating Views and Indexes with SQL
SQL views provide alternative ways of accessing the data in a table.
By Brian Meyers and Jim Buck
Editor's Note: This article is excerpted from chapter 3 of Programming in ILE RPG, Fifth Edition.
Although a program can retrieve and process virtual rows from a view, the view does not actually contain data. Instead, it stores an access path, a sequence of pointers to the actual data in one or more tables. When SQL creates a new view, the database constructs an unkeyed logical file based on a physical file. An RPG program does not make a distinction between a table and a view when it is processing the file—the program can read and generally update the file whether it is a table or a view.
