RE: Where do I get drivers to allow a GIS software package

Hmmmm, I thought loading the drivers on a PC constituted a CA seat.

You don't need DB2 Connect, which is an extra cost item.

iSeries Client Access includes ODBC, OLEDB, and .NET drivers for accessing
the i5 DB.

The drivers are no-charge parts of iSeries Access, which also includes
iSeries Navigator and its "Run
SQL Scripts" utility. So you don't have to pay for a CA license to install
and use them.

Keith,

Thanks very much for the information. The folks that want to talk to
DB2/400 wish to do so from ESRI
ArcMap 9.2 and ESRI ArcCatalog 9.2. I'd like to show them their long held
position that the i5 and
DB2/400 is hard to access is not true. I'm thinking they would have to use
something like DB2 Connect
and the DB2/400 driver therein and configure the access via Microsoft's
ODBC configuration function.
Am I going down the right road and if so please steer me correctly on how
to configure their Windows
applications, mentioned above, so they can query DB2/400 from those
applications. If I'm not going
down the right road, please steer me correctly as well.

Thanks,

Dave
