RE: Insert with remote subselect.

Charles, I agree.

And if IBM has any game left for i, I think they should do just that.

My thought is for IBM to pay handsomely for rights to the code and get this done asap.

In my experience, ArdGate support of STRSQL is a valuable feature
I did not see in the other solutions I have used/am using.

Yeah, expect that IBM provides the Windows OLEDB or ODBC driver for DB2...

MS doesn't bother to provide an IBM i driver for MS SQL Server...

Oracle does, but you have pay big $$$ (30K last time I checked) to get it as part of their "Transparent Gateway" product...

The only thing IBM could have done (and probably should have) would have been to build the JDBC<-->DRDA bridge that ArdGate provides.

Cool!

This comes in handy from time to time.  I've been using Linked Servers with MS SQL Server for this very type of functionality for over a decade.  Its good to see it finally coming to the IBM i, just wish native support for reading/writing to remote databases didn't require addon products like ARDGATE.  All that's required on the MS SQL side is the OLE DB or ODBC driver for whatever third party database system you want to connect to and voila, you have full access to read/write to that DB.
