  • Subject: RE: Oracle on AS/400?

We use the Oracle Transparent Gateway to access DB2/400 from RS/6000 Oracle.
I don't think I have ever heard of Oracle on the 400.  Seems pretty redundant to
put a relational database under a relational database.  If it is just the 
gateway,
you can contact me privately and I might be able to give insights.  If it is 
not just
the gateway, I would seriously question the vendor as to how they will do this.
