RE: Updating Windows SQL from ILE RPG

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Walden

Interesting characterization you make - I'm not aware of any product 
that makes embedded SQL able to talk to SQL Server - except for the 
federation capabilities in IBM's very expensive but capable Data 
Integrator or Information Integrator - whatever the current name.

As to 3rd party things, Richard already mentioned our RPG2SQL product 
- it consists of a service program with function calls that make 
access to ANY SQL-based database a rather trivial exercise. I hope 
you have an excuse to look at it sometime.
