Natural for SQL/DS

Application Development Db2

Vendor

Product Overview

The architecture of Natural for SQL/DS comprises several key components. The Natural runtime environment executes Natural code and handles the interaction with the SQL/DS interface. The SQL/DS interface acts as a translator, converting Natural's SQL or DML statements into DB2-compatible calls.

The DB2 database system manages the data storage and retrieval. Communication between these components occurs through standard interfaces. Natural applications embed SQL statements or use Natural DML.

The SQL/DS interface then interacts with DB2 using its native protocols. Configuration involves setting up database connections, defining database aliases, and configuring security settings. Security relies on DB2's access controls and Natural Security.

Monitoring can be done using DB2's monitoring tools and Natural's logging capabilities. Compared to direct database access, Natural for SQL/DS provides a higher level of abstraction and simplifies database interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key components of Natural for SQL/DS?

undefined

Key components include the Natural runtime environment, the SQL/DS interface, and the DB2 database system. The Natural runtime environment executes the Natural code, the SQL/DS interface handles the communication with DB2, and the DB2 database system manages the data.

undefined

What are the common commands used with Natural for SQL/DS?

undefined

Common commands include `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` (SQL statements), as well as Natural DML commands like `FIND`, `READ`, `WRITE`, and `DELETE`. These commands are used to interact with the DB2 database.

undefined

What is the syntax for basic SQL operations?

undefined

The syntax follows standard SQL. For example: `SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE condition;` or `INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2) VALUES (value1, value2);`

undefined

What configuration files or interfaces are used?

undefined

Configuration typically involves setting up database connections within the Natural environment. This may involve defining database aliases and connection parameters within Natural's system files or using the Natural Security features to manage database access.

undefined

What authentication methods are supported?

undefined

Authentication relies on the security mechanisms provided by the underlying DB2 system and the Natural Security features. This includes user ID and password authentication managed by DB2 and the Natural Security system.

undefined

What access control model is used?

undefined

Access control is primarily managed through the DB2 security features, including user and group permissions on database objects. Natural Security can also be used to control access to Natural objects and functions that interact with the database.

undefined

What audit/logging capabilities exist?

undefined

DB2 provides comprehensive auditing capabilities to track database access and changes. Natural applications can also implement logging to record database interactions for auditing purposes.

undefined

How is data security ensured?

undefined

Data security is ensured through the use of DB2's security features, including access controls, encryption (if implemented at the database level), and secure network connections. Natural applications should follow secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities.

undefined

What administrative interfaces are available?

undefined

Administration is primarily performed through the DB2 administrative tools and the Natural environment. This includes using DB2 commands for database management and Natural tools for application deployment and maintenance.

undefined

How is user management handled?

undefined

User management is handled through the DB2 security features, which define user accounts and their associated permissions. Natural Security can also be used to manage user access to Natural applications and resources.

undefined

What are the main configuration parameters?

undefined

Main configuration parameters include database connection details, security settings, and Natural environment settings. These parameters are typically configured within the Natural environment and the DB2 system.

undefined

What monitoring/logging capabilities exist?

undefined

Monitoring and logging are provided by both DB2 and Natural. DB2 provides monitoring tools for database performance and activity, while Natural allows for application-level logging to track database interactions and errors.
