Oh, no, it's a great platform for database work.  Didn't mean to imply
otherwise.

Yeah, we upgraded from CISC to RISC earlier this year and are now
running V3R7.

> Ever had to do RPG on them?  

You bet.  In my previous job at least we had C/400.  Not so here; it's
all CL and RPG.  On the PC side I'm using VdB through ODBC for most
work.  For read-only work it's fine.  Updates are excrutiatingly slow,
however.

> Sure you don't want to trade???

Given the choice, for security and reliability I'll take an AS/400 over
any PC-based database and many Unix-based SQL servers, too.  And I'll
pay handsomely for the privilege, too <g>.
