It's possible if you use db2 connect to make your connection to the iSeries. See http://code.google.com/p/ibm-db/. The support group is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Right now, the as/400 is listed as a "Future supported database" [1], but there have been some reports from people getting it working. You might want to make your needs known on the support list & also follow up with your IBM rep.

Once the alias is created, it can be treated like any other table. -ken --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
