by Marc Logemann
Programmers and administrators working with the iSeries, especially with its database, need to know lots of OS/400 commands.

Surveyor/400 from Linoma Software could be the appropriate solution for them. This client/server product gives a nicely structured GUI for doing common tasks when working on iSeries projects.

Better SQL Queries, and That Ain't All
by Dan Burger
If you have ever run SQL scripts in Client Access Express, you know it is slower than a three-legged turtle walking up a hill. After you enter a query, there's time to hike three blocks, have a donut and a cup of coffee, and come back before you get any results. Not that we're anti-donut or anything, but there are quicker ways to accomplish queries--and stored procedures and logical files--than what you may be used to. READ MORE >

SafeStone Delivers New Adapter for Password and Provisioning Suite
by Alex Woodie
Application provisioning is often overlooked in the lifecycle of an application. Much is said about developing, using, and eventually migrating a "legacy" application, but the process of signing up new users is not glamorous. However, when a company has numerous systems, each with different ways of managing users, provisioning can become overly complicated. SafeStone Technologies seeks to remove this complexity with AxcessIT Provisioning Manager, which the company just relaunched with a new Java-based universal adapter. READ MORE >
