ProData Computer Services, Inc. has introduced Remote Database
Connect (RDB Connect). This new utility gives developers full SQL access to
remote databases from an RPG, COBOL or CL program on the System i. The software
is available on the ProData Website and is being released at the ongoing Fall
COMMON User Group conference in Columbus, Ohio.
RDB Connect allows users
to access cross-platform, real-time data on remote systems using APIs to execute
any SQL query. The application supports access to MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle, Postgre, DB2 database and others. RDB Connect communicates directly with
these remote databases from all high-level languages on the System i. This
allows record level I/O as well as the import/export of remote data, to and from
the System i, and can be used in batch or interactive programs.
"RDB
Connect drives our DBU Remote Database plug-in and many of our customers wanted
that same remote database access integrated within their business applications,"
said ProData Owner and CEO, Allen Hartley. "RDB Connect allows our customers to
easily share data across platforms within their programs, which can eliminate
data transfers or duplicate data entry in some cases."
With this
addition, ProData continues to offer a feature-rich product line that loyal
followers have come to expect. The performance and functionality of each utility
continues to provide quick and easy methods to access databases and to enrich
development environments, the company says.
