There are many other middleware solutions available. Some use ODBC and some you can access directly. Most you can access both ways. These include HyperStar from VMark/Constellation, EDA/SQL from Informantion Builders, SequeLink from Techgnosis and the DAL Server for Unix from Pacer Software. All of these work quite well. If you would like more information on DAL please send me email at the address listed below. I understand there is also a solution from Gupta, does anyone know anything about it?
