<div><p>The runtime support for an <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> distributed
|
|
relational database is provided by the operating system. Therefore, when the
|
|
operating system is installed, distributed relational database support is
|
|
installed.</p>
|
|
<p>However, some setup work might be required to make the application requesters
|
|
and application servers ready to send and receive work, particularly in the
|
|
Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) environment. One or more
|
|
subsystems can be used to control interactive, batch, spooled, and communications
|
|
jobs. All the application requesters (ARs) in the network must have their
|
|
relational database directory set up with connection information. Finally,
|
|
you might want to put data into the tables of the application servers throughout
|
|
the network.</p>
|
|
<p>The relational database directory contains database names
|
|
and values that are translated into communications network parameters. An
|
|
AR must have an entry for each database in the network, including the local
|
|
database and any user databases that are configured on independent auxiliary
|
|
storage pools (IASPs, also known as independent disk pools).
|
|
These local entries can be added automatically by the system, or manually.
|
|
Each directory entry consists of a unique relational database name and corresponding
|
|
communications path information. Information about the preferred password
|
|
security for outbound connections can be specified. For access provided by
|
|
ARD programs, the ARD program name must be added to the relational database
|
|
directory entry.</p>
|
|
<div class="p">There are a number of ways to enter data into a database. You can use an
|
|
SQL application program, some other high-level language application program,
|
|
or one of these methods: <ul><li>Interactive SQL</li>
|
|
<li><span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> query management</li>
|
|
<li>Data file utility (DFU)</li>
|
|
<li>Copy File (CPYF) command</li>

<p>Connection and setup information for a distributed relational database

Distributed

|
topic, but for the sake of completeness, it is mentioned here as a consideration

before using DRDA<sup>®</sup>,

If you own a Distributed Relational

The implementation of DRDA<sup>®</sup> support on the <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> uses

Applications in the distributed relational database environment operate on data stored in tables. In general, applications are used to query a table for information, to insert, update, or delete rows of a table or tables, or to create a new table. Other situations occur where data on one server must be moved to another server.</li>
