Re: SQL naming + library list -- WEB400

Todd,

I checked with Birgitta Hauser. As I understand it, the naming mode under which the procedure is called will be less important than the naming mode used to create the procedure.

Birgitta replied:

If a stored procedure is created with System Naming, the library list is accessed at run time, even though the procedure is called from within an environment where SQL Naming is used.

If static SQL was used within the stored procedures the library is always used, independent whether a CURRENT SCHEMA is explicitly set at runtime or not.

If dynamic SQL was used within the stored procedures the library list is only used if NO CURRENT SCHEMA is set in the environment where the procedure is called.

Todd, I'd be interested to hear whether these ideas work for you.

Thanks for the article links. Those contain great info. Most of the material I had read before. One thing I did not know is that the owner of a schema will be the user profile if that schema name matches an existing user profile.

To my original question, it seems there is no way to use a library list on a stored procedure call with SQL naming.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi, Todd,

In some cases, the naming mode used to create the stored procedure may supersede the manner in which the procedure is called.

This topic is more complex than it seems. For details, I recommend Birgitta Hauser's thorough, authoritative articles about SQL and System
naming:

Is there any way to use SQL naming in an unqualified (no library) call to a stored procedure and have the library list used? I seem to recall that an alias can be used to mimic the library list behavior when using SQL naming.

I know system naming would be much easier but that is not an option at this time.

Thanks,
Todd Allen
