Being able to write your own wrapper to redirect a standard opcode would be nice. Having some prewritten wrappers that would go after some things a lot of customers need to do would be even better. Like prewritten wrappers to read Oracle or MySQL or MS SQL based data via JDBC. Of course this could be done using Open I/O or done by allowing a table to be defined to DB2 that points to the remote database and the database makes the redirect to the remote database to get the data requested. Open I/O would work just for RPG using standard opcodes, the second would work from any language or tool and any database access method, native or SQL.

Don,

If you, or a vendor, can figure out how to get to an oracle database via
API's, JDBC, or whatever then, yes, you could get to oracle. You just
have to write the wrappers.
