I agree.  DRDA, but where do you get it from?  I thought for awhile that it
was part of SNA Server, but we couldn't install that on our server.

Loyd,

I've tried to chase this rabbit down several times already. The answer is
"Yes, there is a DRDA component for SQL Server". Just who has this piece and
where to get it seems to be the big secret. I have seen references to a
Microsoft project called "BABYLON" which appears to address this need.
However, I can't find any direct references to Babylon and DRDA in M$
support. It's been a little while since I last looked, though.

Subject: AS400 as ODBC client


I've checked the archives, but turned up little.

I want to use the AS400 as a client to access data from a Microsoft SQL
server (V7) database. [The database & server is in another location in
another state, so cannot be put on our AS/400. Also corporately mandated the
data is on the NT server.] One solution I've heard is "use DRDA". Does MS
SQL server have a DRDA component to allow access from the AS/400? Another
idea is to run SNA server on an NT box to broker ODBC connections for the
AS/400.

Does anyone have this working? Any advice is appreciated!
