RE: news400 goes negative on IBM?

Actually Oracle has a product called Access Manager for AS/400 that resides on an AS/400 and gives access to the Oracle database from the iSeries. I have assumed it is DRDA, but I do not know. They have other Access Manager products, as well as Transparent Gateway products that let Oracle talk to non-Oracle databases. BTW, I'm not a customer, I've only explored their site.

IBM's DRDA is supposed to be an "open" product, but other DB vendors only
make it half-open, maximizing their benefit. Oracle and Microsoft both have
DRDA drivers that will let THEM get and put data on DB2, from their
respective products (Oracle DB and SQL Server). Their drivers do NOT allow
updates to THEIR database from DB2.
