Re: Ming Software and Universal SQL Editor

Not used it, but on a cursory glance it seems to be ODBC based.  Our 
experience is that ODBC isn't great on error messages.  (Not an issue if 
you write perfect SQL.)

A JDBC based tool is better IMHO.  If you are looking for free software, 
the optn source SQuirrel product is pretty good.

Trickiest is defining the connect scheme.  This article may help:

I think there are a couple of other articles on the mcpressonline.com site.

If you are looking for a commercial product, check out Surveryor/400 
from Linoma Software.
