RE: SQLRPGLE to remote oracle db

I forgot my pet rant...

<rant>
Just goes to show you how the openness of the iSeries is used against it by 
proprietary DB vendors
(Microsoft & Oracle).

David,

The post you reference is making use of Oracle's Access 
Manager for DB2/400 product.

This product is installed on the iSeries and allows a Remote 
Oracle DB to be viewed as just another remote DRDA (ie. DB2 
LUW, DB2 for iSeries) database.

The Access Manager for Db2/400 is bundled with Oracle's 
Transparent Gateway for DB2/400 product which is installed on 
the machine with the Oracle DB and allows the Oracle DB to 
see the iSeries as just another remote Oracle DB.

Unfortunately, it costs about $30,000 to buy the Enterprise 
Integration Gateways bundle which include Am and TG for DB2/400.

HTH,
