RE: Accessing MSSQL with SQLCLI

I tried to generate interest in an open-source project to build such a
DRDA connector a couple months ago and got exactly one response. I let
it go for apparent lack of interest.

I think to use DB2/CLI from the i to access a MS Sequel Server, you must
have a DRDA acces provider installed. This is notoriouly difficult to
do, as there do not seem to many products that can provide this support.
Generally, the standard alternative approach is to use a Java based JDBC
driver (type 3?) to connect to the remote server. Scott Klement has
published several articles covering this.

Subject: Accessing MSSQL with SQLCLI


can anyone help me with the connection parameters to access the MSSQL
data base using SQLCLI?

i have been searching all day and the only example i found for SQLCLI
was for attaching to another AS400 data base.

in the example i have been trying to work with, i have the following
connect
statement:
rc = SQLConnect(hdbc :
szDSN :
cbDSN :
szUID :
cbUID :
szAuthStr :
cbAuthStr);

cbDSN = SQL_NTS
i have changed szDSN to the name of the data base (which i am able to
access via ms access odbc driver) but i do not know how to tell it the
location (ip
address) of the server that the MSSQL data base resides on.
