COMMON Fall Conference & Expo

SQL views provide the modern user interface to obtain system level information traditionally available via OUTFILE and API support.  Attend this session and learn how easy it is to use a SQL view. SQL views provide the administrator of the system easy access to lots of system configuration and management information. This session will provide a list of available SQL views and their purpose as well as examples of how to use them. I will explain how the examples work and you'll leave with the skills necessary to be a better and more system administrator.  This is not an introduction to SQL class, but rather an explanation of why you need to add SQL to your toolset and a quick-start guide showing you how to become a better systems administrator or security officer. http://ibm.biz/DB2foriServices
