Rob,
The "we" part could be to create an Open Source project to accomplish
something similar. A DRDA-Bridge project might be possible. The biggest
issue is (besides the fact that I don't see a lot of enthusiasm for RPG
open source projects) is that the DRDA implementations are vendor
specific. We'd need to know quite a bit about each particular DB in
order to write a server for each target DB.
You could possibly write a DRDA-ODBC bridge that would talk to ODBC/Ole
DB providers and return DRDA compliant data but that would be two middle
ware traversals that would hamper performance (my guess).
I know nothing about the DRDA spec and *some* about ODBC/JDBC specs. It
would be a useful project but I would guess given our own personal
project lists, an open source implementation wouldn't happen.

Does MS have the equivalent of IBM's Design Change Request?
