Re: Macintosh Query on iSeries

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Robin,

Depends upon what you mean by Query.  There are plenty of open source 
tools that will run on a Mac and will access the data on the iSeries.  
SQuirreL is one of them, but they are not "user" tools per se because 
they require some knowledge of SQL.  I'd recommend that you search for 
tools that use JDBC (Java) to connect since they will probably have the 
highest degree of 'compatibility' with a Mac.  There are other Mac users 
on the list though and perhaps they can suggest something that is more 
user friendly.
