RE: DRDA and Azure SQL Server

Thanks Rob. That reference provides a little more information than a reference I had found earlier.

Hi,

We are on 7.3 of IBM i. We are working on a project where an application in Azure will need to update some tables on the IBM i. Our initial thought was to create REST API's on the IBM I and have the Azure application call them. We have experience with REST API's, so we understand how that would work. The consultants we are working with (Windows background) ran across DRDA and wondered if they could use that to connect directly to the database on the IBM I and skip the REST API. The thinking being, that would be less work. I did some reading about DRDA, but it wasn't very clear to me how it works. Does anyone have experience using DRDA in this manner? I guess I would also be interested in reasons why this may not be a good idea. TIA
