 About Connect SQL rules

A Connect SQL rule has three key parts:

  • Oracle for Oracle.
  • DB2 for IBM DB2
  • UDB for IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB)

Rule resolution

FFTF When searching for Connect SQL rules, the system filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions.

The system does not search the class hierarchy. References to Connect SQL rules (such as in method parameters) must match the Applies To key part.

Time-qualified and circumstance-qualified rule resolution features are not available for Connect SQL rules.
