SHOULD YOU USE DB2 WEB QUERY?
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do I have time to rename all our files in a new structure on the IFS before we can query them?
2. Would a tool with Windows, Web, and 5250 user interfaces satisfy even more of our users?
3. Would it save time to have integrated e-mail and FTP for report distribution?
4. Can it output directly to MS Access, CSV, TXT?
5. Since everyone who creates and runs queries counts as a named user, how much will we really need to spend to meet our needs?
Know your options BEFORE you upgrade!

And while the iData beta is focused primarily on database editing, it will soon expand to include other capabilities, such as querying and reporting, Web form creation, and Web application development.
