Hi,
one of our application is using ANSI SQL and they want to convert it into DB2 SQL standard. So please answer the following asap:
1. what is the diff b/w ANSI SQL and DB2 compatible SQL?
2. How to convert it?
3. What will be the benefits?
Database Details:
Version : Db2 v8.1 for z/OS (compatibilty mode)
Processor: Z900 series |

| Try running it without converting. Most SQL is just SQL. They should be compatible as long as you didn't do anything funky. |

ANSI isn't a database vendor, it is the American National Standards Institute. DB2 SQL most likely conforms to one of the actual ANSI SQL standards but also extends it.

Hi Steve,
Yes, it is a standard rather than a product, but i was just wondering on which database engine the "ANSI SQL" is currently running. . . |

Hi Dick,
The database engine is DB2 and is running on a mainframe server (z900 series).
Version: DB2 v8.1 for z/os (compatibility mode)
H/w : Z900 series |

Hello Boopathy,
If the application is already successfully running on DB2 (i misread/misunderstood that from the initial post, my apologies  ), is there a need for a conversion? |

| Basically i need the exact difference beween the ANSI SQL and DB2 SQL. I heard that DB2 compatible SQL will give more flexibility and performance compared to the ANSI Sql. |

| You'll need to compare the DB2 v8.1 SQL manual to the ANSI spec that it is implemented against. |
