In the past I spent hours and hours and hours writing, editing and
compiling stored procedures (I am not a pro).  It could take me two
days to get a single stored procedure to work.

Then came the revolutionalry Development Center.  On one single window
(UDB for Windows 32) came about eight different panes with bewildering
names and no function.  There was always, and I mean always, an error
message.

Now there is the new Development Center in Windows v8.2 which has even
more panes (it seems to me), almost all of them hidden.  There is no
way to know where a particular SP is stored, and that causes lack of
ability to find a "Project," whatever that is -- as it is different
from a database Project, but the same name is used.

Clicking on almost anything brings up a psychedelic whirl of more and
more panes, none of which mean anything reasonable.  It is also written
in Java, the worst thing ever to happen to programming.  This means
that, when one is obviously in the wrong pane, pressing anything causes
everything to hang.

I have asked in this forum (and I see that others have also asked) for
a reference to an explanation of this GUI, but no one has ever
answered.

Are stored procedures only for the cognoscenti of DB2, or may we
ordinary folk enter into the inner sanctum too?  If so, where do I get
initiated into the mysteries of the Development Center?

Those who know Die Zauberflaute have a feeling for what I mean.  Where
is my magic flute?
