Re: Grant on sql index

    Arco,
 
 As I see it a SQL Index will be, in most cases, faster than a DDS-based LF. 
Check out this excellent article by Dan Cruikshank at:
 
 www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/db2/pdf/Performance_DDS_SQL.pdf 
  
 Hope this helps.
   Regards,

 Luis Rodriguez

subject: Grant on sql index


Hi folks,
 
I have a project for which all data files are created with SQL.
Now another RPGLE program needs to access this data via a keyed logical.
So I have build an extra index over the existing tables and want to use that.
 
Two questions have come up:
 
1) It seems to be impossible to set permissions on the SQL index via the SQL 
instruction "Grant Select on Myindex to Mygroup". This only applies to tables 
and views. How do I set SQL permissions for an index?
 
2) Is it wise to create an SQL index for traditional use in an RPGLE program, 
or is it better to create a logical with CRTLF over the SQL table?
 
Thanks in advance,Arco Simonse
