Aliesha's Best Gateway
A JDBC Gateway
Aliesha's Best Gateway allows tables from any standard JDBC data source to look like a Sybase ASE remote table. As you can imagine, this is very powerful. Consider:
- Cross vendor tables can be joined (for example, Sybase and MySQL)
- Cross vendor migration is simple (for example, from Microsoft SQL Server to Oracle)
- Non RDBMS data can easily be accessed with a standard, networked SQL interface
- A text file can be written to as a SQL table
- Data Files could be read
- Non RDBMS data can easily be migrated to an RDBMS (for example, from Access/Excel to Sybase)
- LDAP can be accessed as a SQL table (for example, login information like name can be joined for standard SQL reports)
Aliesha's Best Gateway is currently free. It is provided as is.
