PROGRAMMER TIP
Run SQL statements from the command line
Wouldn't it be nice to have a quick way to evaluate information, such as mathematical formulas or file content? If you're familiar with SQL, you probably know that you can use it. Search400.com member Eitan Rosenberg wrote a basic utility that demonstrates a way to get a single field result from an SQL query from the command line.

Have you ever had the need to synchronize real-time data from a Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Sybase or other ODBC compliant database? If you ask someone how to do it, the answers you usually get are that you need to do it from the PC side, because the iSeries can't do it. Yes it can.

THE MISSING LINK
Ping! IM SLAPs business users

If you still think instant messaging (IM) is the domain of giggly teenagers, keep this in mind: A new study shows that IM is also the domain of giggly professionals. According to corporate IM vendor Omnipod, "serious" IMers love their acronyms as much as teens. While "LOL" and "OMG" may be considered teen IM, grown-up users in cubicles are likely to use "SLAP" (sounds like a plan), "BFO" (blinding flash of the obvious) and "IHMB" (I hate my boss). Omnipod researchers found that "BRB" (be right back) is the most popular IM acronym in the workplace, followed by "CTRN" (can't talk right now), "IMO" (in my opinion), "HTH" (hope this helps) and "IAM" (in a meeting).
