An additional concern is ease of use for legacy RPG skill sets.

I am currently setting up to test Scott Klement's JDBCR4 service program

Scott's API is a good idea - but if you want it to be easily used by "legacy" programmers I would wrap it in either a SPECIAL file or RPG Open Access (RJS Software have already done this if a vendor solution is an option).

For information on SPECIAL files and Open Access you could try my articles here:
