Using native SQL on the IBM i, users can now access specific files on DB2 and non-DB2 remote databases without any special hardware appliance or software on the remote database. Access, which is possible from interactive STRSQL and from any standard RPG, Cobol, C, etc. programs, is now easier and more natural than ever.

DB-Gate has been proven to be a successful and full replacement for Oracle Access Manager (OAM); note that OAM is not supported beginning with IBM i release 7.3!
