SQL iQuery™ for IBM i
Modernize Your Queries using SQL iQuery
Introducing iQuery™ - The IBM i SQL tool that allows you to create and run modern new database queries using SQL or repurpose your existing Query/400 queries for SQL.
Version 3.2 Available
SQL iQuery is a modern SQL tool that allows you to immediately view your SQL SELECT statement results on the web, the green screen, PDF or Excel. It even outputs JSON, HTML, or XML just to show off.
New! Presentation: Using SQL iQuery Scripting (PDF)
What is iQuery?
SQL iQuery allows you to use standard SQL to build reports, PDFs, Excel files, database outfiles, and web content. You can also replace most legacy Query/400 scripts with iQuery and get the job done faster. In addition, using one or two SQL statements can often help you avoid writing hundreds or even thousands of lines of RPG code--and SQL iQuery gives you the flexibility to modify those statements externally or at runtime.
Our RUNiQRY (Run SQL using iQuery) command is going to be your RPG Developer's new best friend!
The iQuery SQL Scripting tool provides the most powerful SQL Scripting system on the platform.

Data Conversion
What good is a tool if every time you need an alternate output format, you have to buy another tool, install an optional plug-in, or rewrite the request so it works with some other unrelated component? With SQL iQuery, you simply specify the output format on the OUTPUT parameter and your existing industry standard SQL statement is used to produce the data in the format you request; nothing's easier. Here's a list of output formats supported by SQL iQuery's Write One and Done interface:
- OUTPUT(*) - Classic "work with" panel.
- OUTPUT(*PRINT) - Create a Report with standard Headings and alignments.
- OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) - Create a New file based on the queried data.
- OUTPUT(*PDF) - Create a PDF File on the IFS ready to be distributed or viewed.(Requires v6r1 or later)
- OUTPUT(*CSV) - Create comma delimited files (CSV) for use in MS Excel and other applications.
- OUTPUT(*EXCEL) - Create Excel SLK files that can be directly open in MS Excel.
- OUTPUT(*HTML) - Create a scrolling HTML Table containing your result.
- OUTPUT(*JSON) - Create JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files.
- OUTPUT(*TEXT) - Create a report as a plain ASCII text file.
With SQL iQuery, it does not matter what the end-format is going to be. You can prototype the SELECT statement until you get it the way you want it, then decide what the output format will be. Use our interactive viewer to view your results, customize and refine the statement, tweak the titles and then save it to a source file member. When you're ready to run that statement, you decide what output format you need. Need a PDF today but that one special user wants in it Excel? No worries, just run it and set the OUTPUT parameter to *EXCEL and it just works. You're the hero!
