ODBC Utility Eases Multiplatform Data Integration

摘要

Corporate mergers and acquisitions and the need for close collaboration between business partners are just two of the reasons why demand for iSeries application integration with databases on disparate computer systems is growing. A common way of getting the job done is to use ODBC as the access method. This can require some custom programming or use of a third-party iSeries tool to simplify the process. One third-party product that provides this facility is iStudio400.com's iS/QDBC. iS/ODBC gives iSeries developers and end users direct access to SQL databases using OS/400 commands, enabling them to integrate and synchronize data, as well as read, write, update, or delete SQL database records without programming. It also facilitates connections to SQL servers over a LAN, an intranet, and the Internet.
