RE: Calling a DB procedure from another DB

["Wilt, Charles" <CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem is that the OBDC connection between Oracle and DB2, called "Generic 
Connectivity" by Oracle, does _NOT_ support the SQL CALL statement.

To invoke stored procedures on an external database from Oracle, you need 
Oracle's Transparent Gateway product; which costs big $$$.
