RE: AS400 as ODBC client

Loyd,

I've tried to chase this rabbit down several times already. The answer is
"Yes, there is a DRDA component for SQL Server". Just who has this piece and
where to get it seems to be the big secret. I have seen references to a
Microsoft project called "BABYLON" which appears to address this need.
However, I can't find any direct references to Babylon and DRDA in M$
support. It's been a little while since I last looked, though.

Subject: AS400 as ODBC client


I've checked the archives, but turned up little.

I want to use the AS400 as a client to access data from a Microsoft SQL
server (V7) database. [The database & server is in another location in
another state, so cannot be put on our AS/400. Also corporately mandated the
data is on the NT server.] One solution I've heard is "use DRDA". Does MS
SQL server have a DRDA component to allow access from the AS/400? Another
idea is to run SNA server on an NT box to broker ODBC connections for the
AS/400.

Does anyone have this working? Any advice is appreciated!
