RE: Query AS/400 from SQL Server

Does this require the installation of the IBM ODBC or OLE DB or .NET driver on the MS SQL server?

Create a "linked server" in MS SQL Server

Then you two options:
-- Pull all rows from the table(s) back and does the where locally select * from FALCONPROD.S10316ZM.HLTHPRDFIL.LOCATP where locnbr = '00335';

-- Sends the statement to linked server for processing select * from openquery(FALCONPROD, 'select * from customp where locnbr = ''00335''');


As you can surmise, option 2 would be more efficient.

Can someone please provide the most efficient means of querying a view on the AS/400 from SQL server? We need "real time" information from a view across multiple BPCS files.
