Linked servers
Good morning,
I'm looking for some direction in creating new Ms Access database that would have linked tables to MSSQL 2005 ent. and in addition would be able to take advantage of DB2 database that is linked in MSSQL. What I would like to do is look up some values in linked DB2 tables while user is creating record in MSSQL to validate it and then at the end of the batch(bunch of related records) I would "push" that batch to temporary processing table on Mainframe where DB2 folks would do something with these batches/records and send me a response back. I have created linked server to DB2 using IBM OLE DB provider for DB2 (IBMDADB2) and that is working, what I'm not sure of doing is linking DB2 tables in MS Access DB. I'm trying to all this in order to avoid installing DB2 Connect software on each machine and configuring it on each machine that would need to use this database. I would rather that server that has MSSQL talks to Mainframe instead each individual computer. I hope I explained it well... also if MS Access wouldn't be able to do this please let me know if VB would. Thanks Amir |
