Re: Macintosh Query on iSeries -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Java-based solutions are almost guaranteed to work. IBM has great support for Java applications. Any tool that uses JDBC would do the trick. It's up to you, however, to secure the user profiles used for the connection and make sure they cannot delete/insert/update, if they are only querying data.

As far as easy-to-use GUI tools, I am not aware of any at the moment. Try checking out JasperReports; there is an open-sourced version of it. I'm a developer so I use Netbeans for a raw SQL interface.
