Interesting idea, thanks. I haven't really considered creating more DB2 views since I'm relatively new to DB2 (well, I think PostgreSQL has them as well, but since I'm not a full-time DBA, I get lazy), but that might be an approach to consider. I've already discovered db2expln and I'm a regular visitor to IBM Boulder's DB2 web site with on-line documentation, so that's definitely something to consider.

My goal is to 'de-complicate' the source code, and I'm trying to do that by conflating some of the routines into fewer, slightly smarter routines; by simplifying the SQL that's used; and by grouping related routines into their own modules, rather than have a couple of monster modules that get pulled into just about every script.
