Chapter 14. Alternative DB2 Application Development MethodsIN THIS CHAPTER
Part II has dealt primarily with DB2 application development using embedded SQL in a third-generation language such as COBOL. However, as I mentioned at the outset of Part II, you can use other methods to develop DB2 applications. With the growing popularity of client/server computing, these methods are gaining acceptance in the IT community. In this chapter, I discuss the ramifications of using six alternative but perhaps complementary development methods to build DB2 applications: using stand-alone SQL, client/server programming languages, ODBC (Call Level Interface), fourth-generation languages, CASE tools, and report writers. |
