Introduction

Welcome to CA IDMS SQL Quick Bridge (or Quick Bridge for short). Quick Bridge makes it easy for CA IDMS programmers and DBAs to define table procedures. Quick Bridge is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool that runs under Windows, using client/server technology. It uses a series of intuitive dialogs that prompt you for information required to define a table procedure specification based on records and sets relationships defined in a nonSQL database. The generated table procedure specification creates the SQL table procedure definition; system definitions, and source for the COBOL program that you can upload and store in a CA IDMS dictionary. It also creates SQL table syntax that you can upload to an Ingres II database, allowing you to migrate table definitions and data between CA IDMS and Ingres II databases.

The generated COBOL program provides a functional data access approach using CA IDMS DML. Quick Bridge generates all basic processing logic in a clearly structured, easily readable program. You can modify the program to fine-tune the database navigation or to add additional processing.
