RDB Connect allows your IBM iSeries (AS/400) to remotely access & share remote data from:
DB2, SQL Server,
Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Access and more!
How RDB Connect Helps You
Give your IBM iSeries (AS/400) full SQL access to remote databases from all IBM i high-level languages. It is a collection of commands and functions allowing record level access to remote data using RPG, CL or COBOL! Programmers can write applications that use standard types and features without concern for the specifics of each remote database. Likewise, database driver implementers need only know how to attach to the core library.
RDB Connect will run on an IBM iSeries (AS/400) with an operating system version of V6R1M0 and above. It requires an IP connection/Host Name to the remote server that is running the database that you want to access.
Note: RDB Connect 4.0 requires systems to be running Java 1.5 or greater for better performance and compatibility (RDBConnect 4.0 also works with Classic JVM). Check what Java version is installed on your IBMi system. From the IBMi command line run the command:
Java *version
Menu driven interface
Improved functionality
Improved functionality
Import & Export remote data, to and from the IBM i
Use RDB Connect APIs to execute SQL queries for access to remote data
RDB Connect Menu for quick access to commands
Manage Remote Systems
NEW - Seamless error handling
Allows any SQL query to be run
Can be used in batch or interactive programs
Communicate with remote databases directly from RPG, COBOL, or CL programs
Transfer data from IBM i to a remote Database
Transfer ISO Dates from IBM i
Note: After installing RDB40, the RDBSBS will be running under the RDB40 library. If you are upgrading your RDB30 and want to continue running RDB30, end RDBSBS (ENDSBS SBS(RDBSBS) OPTION(*IMMED)) and restart it (STRSBS SBSD(RDB30/RDBSBS)).
RDBConnect 5 Highlights
You can’t make data-driven decisions with incomplete information. Together, NGS and ProData help you access, transfer, query, analyze, present, and share data wherever it’s stored - all from the IBM i.
"We love DBU RDB! ProData has RDB for DBU database utility / file editor which allows you to do a DBU on the remote database, where RDB Connect allows you to connect to the remote database using a CL or RPG program. Plus, their support is world - class!"
