|
|
Can anybody suggest a way to access a DB2 datbase on AS400 with BCB5
Pro? Are there any native access components available ore what else are
the possible solutions. For Oracle we are using DOA and for Interbase IBX.
Thank's for your help.
Regards,
Frank.

IBM DB2 client for Windows provides both an ODBC and OLEDB driver
that can, theoretically, access AS400 DB2. I haven't tried it.
We currently use their ODBC driver to access DB2 on Windows and
AIX servers.

What version of BCB are you using?
If you use ODBC do you access it direct or via middleware (BDE)?
We are looking for a solution without BDE beeing involved?
Thank's for you suggestions?

Frank.

We're using BCB 5 Enterprise.

We use ADO Express. I'm not sure if that came with the Pro
version or not, probably not. It used to be available separately
but I don't think it is offered any more. In our case, we use
the MS OLEDB driver for generic ODBC. ADO Express provides
components with an API very similar to the BDE components.
You may be able to find 3rd party ADO components though I don't
know of any offhand. And yes, I agree, avoid the BDE. Another
possibility is upgrading to BCB 6 Pro. But I don't know if the
Pro version has ADO type components.
