I think you want a linked server. In my 2005 SS Management Studio, under server objects, is an item for Linked Servers. Within that is a list of OLE/DB providers, and the 3 providers for the i are there. Then logical files and views will all be available to use in SELECT statements - easy, so far as I know!

Can someone please provide the most efficient means of querying a view on the AS/400 from SQL server? We need "real time" information from a view across multiple BPCS files.
