OK, I've seen several posts like the following: >However, the iSeries can access outside data sources through DDM or ODBC. which claim that the iSeries can use ODBC to access data on another machine. IIRC there was even a thread about this the other week. However, can someone please explain this to me? I'm familiar with the SQL CLI, but that is a method for interfacing with the database layer in a platform independent manner, NOT a facility for accessing data on another machine. As I understand the SQL CLI I could write a C program on the iSeries that used the SQL CLI to access the database. In theory I could then take that C source code and compile it in Windows and it would access ODBC. Fine, but that is not the same as saying that the iSeries can access data using ODBC. What I want to know is the following: Can I take my SQLServer or Oracle or MySQL or ... ODBC drivers and load them on the iSeries so my programs can access data on these remote machines. I think not, but others seem to feel differently, please explain. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516) 627-3800 x11 (208) 692-3308 eFax WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com Quiquid latine dictum sit altum viditur.
