I thought the problem was the other way around. IBM provides the tools so that you can access DB2 from other platforms out of the box. This enables the 'pass-through' to DB2. But the other platforms don't provide the tools so that their data can be accessed from IBM i.

Subject: For Christmas, I want
For Christmas, I want the IBM Rochester system i team to do something significant to make the i a true server of choice.
I think I remember that 'server of choice' phrase from times past, but the gap I continue to see is the difficulty of querying foreign SQL DB from DB2 on i.
Some years ago, from MS Sql Server or Access I could "easily"
create 'pass-through' queries against DB2. But the reverse required a purchase.
Now, I am working through that same dilemma and wonder why
DB2 on i does not have native ability to exchange data with other ANSI compliant Db.
Out of the box, so to speak.
