I can connect from my RPG program to a DB2 database on Windows or Linux. I can access MySQL from Perl or something I suppose. I can't imagine why I would want to access SQL Server. What is the importance in being able to access different databases from RPG? I can see that that could be imoprtant for a Windows developer since there are so many databases out there, but why would one care about accessing SQL Server from RPG? > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Re: news400 goes negative on IBM? > From: Steve Richter <stephenrichter@xxxxxxxxx> > Date: Fri, May 20, 2005 1:10 pm > To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > On 5/20/05, Neil Palmer/DPS <neilp@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > One can only hope that after selling off the Printing Division (Lexmark), > > Storage Division (Hitachi) and PC Division (Lenovo) that they might sell > > off the iSeries division.
