Hi Larry

I haven't used Datagate for a long long time (6-7 years) and as I recall it
ran in its own subsystem. I believe it communicated with the PC using
sockets and when I asked a similar question of ASNA in the UK was told "it
uses the same native file access routines that your RPG programs use". That
is probably about as good an answer as you'd expect to expect to get without
them divulging corporate secrets.

All the best

Jonathan

Subject: How does ANSA DataGate communicate with the System i DB?


Hey guys,

Not sure if this is the right forum, but we are thinking of looking at the
ANSA DataGate product. I understand that it has its own subsystem and acts
as a form of middleware between the .NET framework and the DB on the System
i, but I was wondering how it does that. Does it use SQL CLI, or a native
jdbc driver, or odbc..?

We have been told it is really quick and supports record level access and
I'm wondering how it does this, other than using jdbc and the native jt400
driver. Unless it is a proprietary implementation which uses native code
(written in C maybe).

There are rumors circulating the office that it uses calls directly below
the MI. :-)

Any and all information would be most useful.

Cheers

Larry Ducie
