Our RPG2SQL product can do this very nicely - easy procedures to call to 
do the work.

It also works directly with Excel workbooks - not using SQL or Java.

If interested, feel free to call me or Richard at 888.rjs.soft 
(toll-free) or email me or ask for sales.

I even have an Open Access handler for it. This actually gives you 
access to remote databases with minimal changes to your RPG code - very 
cool, if I may say so myself!
