Does jdbc allow stuff like
insert into mylocallib/mylocalfile

I would think that it doesn't, but James implied that the way to use
it would be through Scott's RPG wrapper; so in effect the same
approach as you mentioned:

Prior to this [enhancement allowing mixing local and remote
databases in the same SQL statement] one might read the
remote table with an SQL cursor, and write locally using native
language features like RPG's write operation.
