RE: SQL Question...

[Chris Bipes <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Using the interactive SQL product you can connect to any defined SQL data
base including Access.  The machine you are connecting to must be running
DRDA via TCP/IP.  The command to add a relation data base is:
QSYS/ADDRDBDIRE RDB(xxxxxx) RMTLOCNAME('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' *IP) PORT(*DRDA)

Then in the SQL use the CONNECT and prompt it.

Subject: SQL Question...


I'm trying to read a microsoft Access Database... And I was wondering if I
can do it from the AS/400 via SQL?

So my question is this, if I place the access database on the IFS, can I run
SQL on the as/400 and read the database?  And if so, how would I point to
it?

TIA, tim
