RE: Recommendation for a good iSeries SQL reference?

[<Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Around '98 I started looking for a good generic book on SQL that would teach me 
the language.  Most books back then were Microsoft or Oracle focused.  I 
figured to pick up the nuances of AS/400 implementation as I went.  The book I 
settled on is "Understanding The New SQL: A Complete Guide" by Jim Melton and 
Alan R. Simon.  I found it very useful and still refer back to it from time to 
time.  It uses an example approach to teaching the fundamentals of SQL and 
covers some of the more advanced functions as well.  Interestingly enough, I 
have found that very little of what is covered does not work on the iSeries.  
Between this book and the IBM SQL reference I have found almost everything I 
need.  The rest I usually get from this list and the archives.
