Shallow Dive into Database Modernization

Patrick Behr

February 21, 2017 FASUG Meeting

Session Description:

Learn how easy it is to convert DDS files to SQL tables (and why you should).

 

  • * Without recompiling anything!
  • * Remove those pesky "extension" files (you know, the ones you created because you needed additional fields but didn't want to add them to the file).
  • * Data-centric programming.
  • * Getting separation between applications and the database.
  • * Mask and/or hide sensitive data with RCSC (Row and Column Access Control).
  • * Limit data access on a need-to-know basis, even if users have *ALLOBJ authority!
  • * Virtually no application changes.
  • * Encrypt your data with FIELDPROC.
  • * Data, index, journals on disk or tape are encrypted.
  • * No one can get the data without the FieldProc program.
  • * Run programs using adopted authority.
  • * No more granting super powers to the users.
