SQL Tools is the perfect collection of powerful and easy-to-use SQL Functions that replaces the need to setup and call IBM i APIs to get information into your programs. Use them in RPG IV apps or in your favorite SQL interface, such as ACS RUNSQL SCRIPTS, STRSQL, SQL iQuery, and now Visual Studio CODE and dBeaver. One call to an SQL Tools function can avoid coding hundreds of error-prone lines needed to call IBM i APIs.
Each SQL Tool includes a link to it's documentation. We use SQL Tools inside of SQL iQuery to produce these pages. Click or tap the SQL Tool name (below) to view it's documentation.
