I'm using DB2 9.5. Is there exists tool like SQL Server Profiler?
I want to view all executing SQL queries.
To watch all executed queries you can create an event monitor. Please see CREATE EVENT MONITOR statement for statements.
Finally have found a nice small and light-weight and freeware tool: db2mon.

I'm new be to DB2/AS400. I know writing sql queries to insert/update in the database but not sure how could i perform same thing in DB2/AS400.Can any body guide me how could i write the sql insert/stored procedure queries in db2 database
STRSQL as suggested previously would work fine but it is a green screen (5250 emulation) option; if you are not familiar with that environment, I would recommend you use the 'Run SQL Script' function from either IBM i Access Client Solutions or IBM i Navigator, whichever is available to you.
On the AS400 command line issue the following command.

I have for years used MS Access and its query tool that is used for making queries. This tool is so good that I have never been forced to do very much SQL programming myself. The query tool has done all the work.
However, now I have started using Postgres and the Graphical Query Builder in pgAdmin. It seems that the Graphical Query Builder is rather primitive: It cannot be used if you need an aggregate function like SUM or COUNT.
Is this really correct?
Does anybody know a better graphical query builder for PostgreSQL?
Until now I have 'solved' the problem by linking MS Access to the Postgres database through ODBC and used MS Access' query tool to generate SQL commands which I then copy into pgAdmin's Graphical Query Builder - and edit the SQL commands until everything is correct.
SQL Maestro has a query designer, although it is PC only, AFAIK

EMS SQL Manager also has a query designer

Try SQLeo, its free and has a specific feature (autosavepoint) to prevent
ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block.
Try a browser-based query builder for PostgreSQL called Skyvia. And you don’t have to worry about which operating system it works. It works where a browser exists. Simply make a connection to your PostgreSQL database and start building your queries. See a sample below.
Note that you can still switch between SQL code and query builder if you want to, just like in MS Access. Get the details here.
I use INavigor system for ad-hoc data extraction from the DB2 database. Only issue is that when it comes to automation. Is there a way I could automate the SQL code to be run on a specific time? I know there is Advance Job Sheduler but I'm not sure how the SQL can be added to the Sheduler. Any one who can help?
IBM added a Run SQL Statements (RUNSQL) CL command at v7.1.
Prior to that, you could store SQL statements in source files and run them with the Run SQL Statements (RUNSQLSTM) command.
Neither of the above allow an SQL Select to be run by itself. For data extraction, you'd want INSERT INTO tbl (SELECT <...> FROM <...>)
For reporting SELECTs, your best bet is to create a Query Manager query (*QMQRY object) and form (*QMFORM object) via Start DB2 UDB Query Manager (STRQM); which can then be run by the Start Query Management Query (STRQMQRY) command. Query Manager (QM) is SQL based, unlike the older Query/400 product. QM manual is here
One last option, is the db2 utility available via QShell.
Don't waste effort creating a day late going out of business because the job scheduler hasn't updated the file system.
Real businesses need real time data.
Just make a SQL view on the iseries that pulls the info you need together.
Query the view externally in real time. Even if you need last 30 days or last month or year to date. These are all simple views to create.
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 with a database in it.
How to find a certain query that was executed and from what IP ?
I have tried to go through the transaction logs but I cant understand nothing there.
You should use SQL Server Profiler. It's usually installed by default - look in the SQL Server folder on the Start Menu. When you open it, start a new trace and select the database. In the Trace Properties dialog choose the TSQL template. This will then record all the queries running on the database, along with a whole lot of other stuff. It's not massively easy to track stuff down in here, but look for the BatchStarting events to find the SQL that gets run. Then you should run the procedure sp_who2 on the database so you can match up SPIDs in the profiler to logins.
We have a software solution that involves syncing some data between a Progress database and SQL server. Unfortunately, we do not have any Progress gurus in house, so I'm working kinda blind here and would welcome any advice that is on offer.
For the workflow that is already in place, what would work very well for us is the ability to do an external call to insert a row into an SQL database from an within ABL procedure's 'for each' loop.
Is anyone able to direct me to any code snippets or articles that might help me achieve this?
Many thanks,
In case your SQL database is MS SQL Server, you might want to have a look at OpenEdge DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server (web.progress.com/en/openedge/dataserver-microsoft.html, documentation.progress.com/output/OpenEdge102b/pdfs/dmsql/dmsql.pdf).
The DataServer provides you with ABL access to a non-Progress database so you can use standard Progress statements, e.g. CREATE to add new records or FOR EACH to retrieve query results.
OpenEdge DataServers are also available for Oracle (using Oracle Call Interface), DB2 and Sybase (using ODBC). The DataServer for MS SQL Server uses ODBC behind the scenes as well. web.progress.com/docs/datasheets/openedge/openedge_dataservers.pdf
You dont need the dataserver, connection with ADODB works fine in ABL, you can even call stored-procedures with the command object, the user you connect with will have to be granted EXEC rigths on the SQL-Server to do that.
I'm not a Progress guru, but I did do some work in it for awhile. AFAIK there is no way to have ABL code connect to a non-Progress database (part of that whole vendor lock-in strategy Progress Corp. leverages).
Your best bet is probably to have the ABL code serialize the records to XML, and use something like ActiveMQ (or even a plain socket or named pipe/FIFO depending on your setup) to send them to a program written in a more capable language to do the SQL insert.
