<div><p>Create and run queries using various methods, including SQL, the
OPNQRYF command, the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> Create
Query API (QQQQRY), ODBC, and Query for <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span>. </p>
<p>One of the most common tasks that you perform with your database is to
retrieve information. <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> servers
provide several methods to create and run queries and reports.</p>
<p>You can use an SQL statement to retrieve information. This SQL statement
is called a <em>query</em>. The query searches the tables stored in your database
to find the answer to the question that you posed with your SQL statement.
The answer is expressed as a set of rows, which is referred to as the result
set. After a query has been run, you can also create a report to display the
data provided in your result set. For detailed information about creating
SQL statements, see the SQL programming topic.</p>
<p>In addition to using SQL, you can use other functions and products to create
and run queries and reports. See the following manuals for detailed information.</p>

Manager</a> <img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /></li>
</ul>
<p>In addition, the <span class="keyword">iSeries Navigator</span> interface
provides SQL Assist, which can be used to create SQL statements. SQL Assist
helps you to build SQL Select, Insert, Update, and Delete statements. See
Build SQL statements with SQL Assist for more information.</p>
