I recall doing some "sample" SQL's back on the very early versions.
It ran so slow it almost stopped. (very basic sort & select)
That concluded my SQL testing.

I'm sure it's blazing fast now, but that's a major reason it was
not generally accepted by the early crowd.

That's been true of a LOT of things that were announced for
the machine.

Look at all the web stuff (that isn't being used).

Vern,

Technically, you're right, but from all the questions and the nature of those questions I see on this forum plus talks I had with my AS/400 colleagues when with IBM, it seems to be a fairly new concept to most folks on the AS/400/i5 community. I wish the AS/400/iSeries/i5 community had embraced it, way back, as much as the folks on the other IBM platforms, but it doesn't seem to be the case. But, I'm hoping they catch up to the rest of the RDBMS world... soon.
