Querying An AS400 Using SQL Server 2019 Data Virtualization
For those who have taken an interest in the latest SQL Server release, SQL Server 2019, you may have noticed a new feature called Data Virtualization. Perhaps you’ve seen a presentation about it, or maybe you’ve read about it in Bob Ward’s book entitled “SQL Server 2019 Revealed.”
I myself was curious about this feature and so I set out to see if I could use it to connect to an AS400 iSeries machine. Tom Willwerth, my friend at StraightPathSQL, and I worked on this process together. This post is primarily about walking you through the steps we recently took to get this configured.
