RE: How do dey do it? (DBU and off-sysem databases)

It was just to point out to James a methodology. Sounded like the concept
was new to him.

Roger,
I doubt this is how they do it.

ARDGATE (free), RAZLEE's product, and several others use this to do it:

Read the link, and notice again the ARD in ARDGATE.

Dieter Bender, author of ARDGATE and Scott Klement (author of some
alternatives) recently had a discussion on this list. They both said the
other's solution is better in some cases and their solution is better in
others. Seemed like a total agreement, on both parts, to me.

Start here for an overview. DBU and Sequel Viewpoint among others do it.

I was recently shown an ad for DBU, touting a new feature involving access
to off-system data across a network.

Anybody know how they do this, and how extensive the capability is?
