SQL supports something link members, i.e. partitioned tables.
But for handling partitioned tables you need the Db2 Multisystem tool, but
before release 7.5 you had to pay for it.

I know how to work with members in a PF. I can't do an ADDPFM to an SQL
defined table to have multiple members and that is what I need to do.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: DDS define files on SQL statements
I work mostly with Island Pacific customers and the Island Pacific software
and consequently a lot of the custom stuff that is written around it is
extremely multi-member dependent.
Is there any way to get multiple members in an SQL defined table (or any
plans to provide that functionality)? If not, we are stuck with DDS.

Regardless of which engine is being used and what language you are
programming in, you should be using SQL to define all new tables.

Hello all, can someone confirm what I've been told: "DDS defined
tables default to the old iseries SQL engine and are less efficient
using
SQL"
which in context I'm told to use native I/O RPG to code instead of
embedded SQL if I am to use DDS files.
thank you!
