This is exactly what we have done with no middleware on udt on windows, it is called the BCI and is easy to use ! However if your u2 box is on *nix, there is no native mssql driver for *nix so you have to use a bridge. However your code is just the same it is just a configuration issue. -Or

We are using SOAP to extract and update and SQL server. Earlier versions (pre 10.3) of UniVerse have a memory leak, but this is working well for us. This isn't "real-time" but it is near real-time. The requests are queued and a phantom process pushes/pulls the data. The nice thing about SO
