- I'm looking for others who have tried to retrieve data from Allbase/SQL on
- either HP3000 or HP9000 host. HP has told us that Allbase/NET PC API is
- available, but there only appears to be support for Gupta SQLWindows and
- Powersoft Powerbuilder (we're getting evaluations of both). We've got
- some users who are using an Excel application that manipulates data on
- a Sybase SQL Server on an OS/2 box. So how do they (simply) grab data
- from an Allbase/SQL database? HP's Information Access or Newwave Access?
- Cognos' product (name escapes me at the moment)? Has anyone else done
- this? Custom interfaces maybe? Must we wait for ODBC in '93?
-
- Any personal experiences/frustrations would be welcome.
