Re[2]: AS400 and ODBC

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     Sounds a bit extreme to be pursuing something like this just yet.... 
     I'd suggest that some access path tuning could probably help this 
     situation. If the query optimizer doesn't have the proper access paths 
     to work with, it could very well spell disaster for ODBC access of 
     large databases.

Sounds like it is time to consider a more robust software tool to 
automate this for you and replace ODBC inefficiencies.  I have used 
DataMirror Corporations "TRANSFORMATION SERVER" quite effectively 
moving data from the AS/400 to an NT/SQL server with right now 
results.  If you need additional information, please give me a call.
