DRDA

This book provides practical guidelines for implementing IBM's DRDA and its first product roll out, DDCS/2. Using this architecture, users can gain access to information residing in OS/2 Data Manager, SQL/400, SQL/DS and DB2 databases from a wide range of computer platforms. The book explores the architectural building blocks of DRDA and DDCS/2, shows how OS/2 and Windows applications can communicate with databases using embedded procedural static SQL code, and explains the full range of programming, configuration, testing, performance and security issues in detail.
