| Can a net.data app running on NT reference SQL Server WITHOUT using DB2 Connect? We have a net.data application using DB2 OS/390. We want to convert to SQL Server because of the high cost of the DB2 Connect liscense.Can that be done using ODBC without the DB2 Connect? If so, got any hints on modifications needed to achieve SQL connectivity?Hayden Jones |

| I'm not sure about the specifics of DB2 connections, but I assume you're talking about a network interface layer (DB2 Connect). Take a look at these sites:http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Ken_North/odbcvend.htmhttp://www.datadirect.com/The first one is a list of ODBC drivers and providers. The second link, DataDirect, makes many very good ODBC and OLE DB drivers, including an Oracle driver that doesn't require the Oracle network client. They might have something like what you want.Can you clarify what this app does? What language it's written in, what kind of interface (web, other GUI), etc.?Edited by - robvolk on 01/04/2002 09:34:32 |
