How much NonStop SQL training will I need?
If you do not have NonStop SQL in your current environment, basic SQL operations training is highly desirable. Expertise in SQL database design will be helpful in making decisions on database conversion issues. Some familiarity with SQL performance (i.e., MEASURE counters) will be helpful, but the SQL generated and executed by Escort SQL is relatively simple, so it will not be necessary to understand optimization of complex query plans. Since application programs do not need to be modified for Escort SQL, application programmers need training only if you want to start programming new applications in SQL. This can occur incrementally, since the rest of the programming staff can continue to program using Enscribe programming.
