QUESTION POSED ON: 18 April 2008
Is there a command in sql that I can execute in order to show me the relation between all the tables/files used in my system application?

EXPERT RESPONSE
There's no SQL statement designed for that purpose. If you have referential integrity constraints in place, you can write queries against the system catalog objects such as QSYS2/SYSREFCST to determine related objects.

The System i Navigator (formerly iSeries Navigator) has a Database Navigator Map tool that is designed to perform this function graphically.
