RE: GUI alternative to IBM Query

Chuck,
While looking for alternative tools for GUI based queries, remember that
object level access with exit point programs are also needed for security.

Even if you implement a more 'secure' GUI based tool, people will still be
able to use Excel or other tools to access information on the iSeries,
whether you roll it out or not.

Hi Folks,



Anyone using a GUI based alternative to IBM Query ?



We had someone show our CFO how to do some stuff with Microsoft's query
tool
and the ODBC drive from Client Access and it appears to have absolutely
NO
security what-so-ever and I see all kinds of problems with rolling that
out.



Thanks !



Chuck
