RE: news400 goes negative on IBM?

<blatant vendor response>

We have a product that uses calls to a service program to connect to just such a magical socket app. Other than not being embedded SQL?more like using CLI?it does everything you just described. You can use ODBC or OLE/DB. As long as you have a driver or provider, you're in like flint.

It also includes a component that speaks directly to Excel on a PC, using OLE automation. www.rjssoftware.com is the link. Or call me at 952.898.3038

In response to Booth, no least common denominator here, IMO. As in everything SQL-ish, you are dependent on the optimizer in whatever database you are talking to.

But it would be nice, if we had a windows partition, on the iseries, that we
could load our odbc drivers, then have a (magical socket type app) that
would work with embedded SQL within RPG, to make the database calls via an
rpgsql program  to this windows partion.. To process these odbc
connections... And pass the data back and forth... But oh well...

In order for RPG to reach other data bases wouldn't we have to work to the
lowest common denominator?  Would we  loose triggers, indexed files, most
file related commands, and dds?
