IBM Says it’s Time to Replace Query/400. So, What Are Your Options?

Setup and Ongoing Administration Requirements

NGS-IQ works directly with your existing DB2 database on the IBM i. While NGS-IQ offers meta-data features to help you simplify end-user understanding and navigation of your database, meta-data is not required. QU2 requires you to set up and maintain a meta-data repository of your DB2 files.

DB2 files added to QU2’s meta-data repository aren’t organized by library which can make it difficult to find them. You cannot query files stored in your QTEMP library because QU2 does not allow these files to be defined in its meta-data repository. This restriction effectively eliminates the convenience of using QTEMP to store query output that is needed to process a second query.
