Re: SQL Across Multiple AS400's

In addition there is, also, a Redbook (Modernizing iSeries Application Data Access - A Roadmap Cornerstone) that I used to build what it sounds like you're trying to do. In my case I was trying to push transactions from one i5 to another i5 on the same network, not actually retrieve data for a report or such. Strangely enough, for my first inter-system SQL program, it worked great; the interactive users didn't even notice a hiccup(slow down in response time for you non-techies).

Find the Distributed Database Programming manual in the Database section of InfoCenter - Appendix A has a simple example of connecting to 2 different systems - the local RDB and a remote one. The same principles apply. The functions are those related to connections. If you use distributed unit of work kind of connections, you can be connected to several systems - but each statement has to be processed by a single system. This information is all in the above-mentioned manual.
If you like the SPDMNY command, you could go with IBM's WebSphere Information Integrator. Articles include

This product runs on a PC and looks like a single DRDA database. It can combine data from multiple sources - including but not limited to iSeries. I am assuming that if you are connecting to iSeries only, you do not need the modules for things like SQL Server - connecting to iSeries should be in the product using DRDA, not ODBC.
