Try 'Database Management' and 'Database Programming'. Also may be something
in 'Work Management'—seems I remember something, but no guarantees.

But I suggest a better way—use the search facility of STRINFSKR or the
Windows Library Reader. Do the search on the 'All books' bookshelf, looking
for QADB*

There may be something in 'SQL Reference', too, since the SQL catalog is a
bunch of views over the various QADB* files. Just try a DSPFD over
SYSCOLUMNS, e.g.
