AS400 database connectivity(aka iSeries, i5, System i)

Ruby
1

I am looking for a working open-source RUBY example that demonstrates
how to connect to an AS400 database and query a file.

If someone has an example using a free AS400 account from rzkh.de that
would excellent.

Thank you,

Frank

I had to interface with Quadra Star (a non relational DB from the early
80s
that only libraries, some publishers, and I’ve been told he CIA
uses/used.
It’s proprietary) a while back.

I ended up using FFI and bridged to C.
You are probably going to have to do something very similar. FFI is
worth
knowing.

Do you have a C, FORTRAN, Java, or XML API?
Good luck.
