Query Language</h1>
<div><p><span>These topics describe the <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> server implementation of the
Structured Query Language (SQL) using <span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB for iSeries</span> and
the <span class="keyword">DB2 UDB Query Manager and SQL Development Kit</span> licensed program.</span></p>
<p>SQL manages information based on the relational model of data. SQL statements
can be embedded in high-level languages, dynamically prepared and run, or
run interactively. For information about embedded SQL, see <a href="../rzajp/rzajpkickoff.htm">Embedded SQL</a>.</p>
<p>SQL consists of statements and clauses that describe what you want to do
with the data in a database and under what conditions you want to do it.</p>
<p>SQL can access data in a remote relational database, using the IBM<sup>®</sup> Distributed
Relational Database Architecture* (DRDA*).</p>

of these main parts.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafysqlobjects.htm">SQL objects</a></strong><br />
SQL <dfn class="term">objects</dfn> are schemas, journals, catalogs,
tables, aliases, views, indexes, constraints, triggers, sequences, stored
procedures, user-defined functions, user-defined types, and SQL packages.
SQL creates and maintains these objects as system objects.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafyapplprogobjects.htm">Application program objects</a></strong><br />
The process of creating a <span class="keyword">DB2 UDB for iSeries</span> application
program may result in the creation of several objects. This section briefly
describes the process of creating a <span class="keyword">DB2 UDB for iSeries</span> application.</li>
