Not sure if this answers your question but... SQL on System i allows for
only one database connection at a time.  *LOCAL database is 'this' LPAR.
'Other' databases are remaining iASPs, LPARs and other machines (could be on
i or not).

No, it's not a fighter, it's a lover :)

Subject: SQL

Currently, when our CRM application uses SQL, it uses it through the 
CLI, and since the CLI is evidently only allowed to have one active 
connection per job, and we have two programs (so far) using SQL, both of 
which would slow to a crawl if they had to create and destroy 
connections every time, the SQL access goes through a proxy program that 
makes the CLI API calls, and stores the connection.

Nobody here has ever used SQL RPG. Does that use a separate SQL 
connection from the CLI? Does it potentially fight with other programs 
in the same job using the CLI?
