Re: Changing the default database.

[Ravi <ravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, your application programs on the AS/400 can access remote non
DB2/400 databases. You will need to setup the remote database on the 
relational database directory entry and then use the appropriate gateway
to access the remote database. ORacle provides Oracle Access Manager to
access remote Oracle databases from an AS/400 program. We have been
using this product to access ORacle on an RS/6000. This does not change
the default database on the AS/400. Your programs will need to be
compiled with specific options so they look at a remote database at
runtime.
