Advanced Query/400: Learn the Secrets

 

When it comes to Query/400, "advanced" is in the eye of the beholder.

 

While it is true that the tool can handle functions beyond static queries, the dependent variable functions we detail in this guide represent the limits of Query/400's ability to perform more in-depth tasks. However, many shops still rely on basic query tools, for better or worse, and we want to help you make the most of them.

Composing An XML Document From Relational Data, Part 1
Hey, Mike:
