SQL Built-In Functions and Stored Procedures The i5/iSeries Programmer's Guide

This book is an introduction to creating and using SQL functions and stored procedures under OS/400 and i5/OS. It starts out by explaining how each of these are used and then explores some of the stored procedures and functions included with SQL on the iSeries as part of OS/400. Both stored procedures and built-in functions expand the power and usefulness of SQL, but it is an area that programmers often do not discover until after they have been programming for a while. This information will give readers a useful leg up on using and writing stored procedures and built-in functions
