<Darryl>
I am not a Java developer and could possible read the code but that would
take a while and I am not sure I would get it right, so its easier to ask
questions.

I need to connect to an old Progress database on HPUX. We use Openlink to
pull data off Progress into Excel.

Openlink has a JDBC driver that would need ARDGATE and I think JVAGATE or a
JDBCGATE application.

Question:
- Should I be able to use JVAGATE to pull data from Progress?
- I intend using SQL to pull data off Progress.

TIA

Darryl Freinkel.

If the driver is pure Java (AKA Type 4) it should be possible. I don't have experience with Progress (ArdGate is verified with DB2 flavours, Oracle, MySQL, Maria, MSSQL, Firebird, PostgreSQL), having a first look, there might be some issues with Java versions versus Progress Versions. If you don't have full controll to the java versions on the AS/400 (or there is a only some driver only running on Windows or linux or the HPUX the database is sitting) it would be possible to split the install of ArdGate: installing the native part on AS/400 and the java part on any other box (configuration would be a little bit tricky).
