Re: RPG2SQL - is there something in WebSphere that will do the same thing?

Hi Tom,

> From your post it sounds as if you are only querying the MySQL database
interactively.  If this is the case then the QuantumDB plugin should provide
you with what you need.

I have only used it with Wdsc 7 but I have seen threads that also mention
using it with Rdp.  There is also a data perspective in Rdp that I heard is
much improved but I don't have any first hand experience with Rdp.
