I am currently working with a large UK bank that has a
variety of different Databases on, needless to say, a
range of different bits of hardware.
We have addressed the problems of data access for most of
their data but are stuck with how to access the
following databases:-
SYBASE
UNIFY
DBM (OS/2)
SQLDS (AS/400)
If anybody knows a/some solutions I would be very
grateful.

We don't currently have any direct interoperability products for
Sybase, Unify, DBM, or SQL/DS. (SQL/DS runs on either DOS/VSE or
VM, but not on AS/400. SQL/400, aka AS/400 DM, runs on the AS/400.)
At the moment, your only recourse is to extract the data locally
and transfer the data to the VAX using FTAM or DTF. Or you could
write cooperative application programs to perform the data transfers
for you.
The future looks a bit brighter, though. Both Sybase and Unify are
members of the SQL Access Group, so at some time in the next 2-5 years,
we expect to be able to interface with these database systems. We also
plan to support IBM's proprietary remote access protocol, DRDA, so we
will also be able to interface with SQL/DS, SQL/400, and the OS/2 EE
Data Manager. I'm not familiar with DBM (who builds it?).

What about using IBI/FOCUS? | |||||
