LINQ (2 SQL) is the best idea I've seen yet to address a lot of the
friction
associated with developing database applications in an OO

environment.

Unfortunately, there is no provider for DB2/400, and history suggests

that

it will be a long time before we see one.

Out of curiousity - I have understood there is an universal DB2 driver.
Does it work with DB2/400?

Supposedly, yes. But you have to buy DB2/Connect to make it work. I looked
into that product years ago and decided it was too expensive to be a
feasible solution.
