DB2 JDBC Driver

["Arnett, Matt" <Matt.Arnett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is anyone aware of a DB2 JDBC Driver that can “interpret/convert/dumb down” SQL queries that have features supported by higher levels of OS/400 (i.e. V5R2) to lower levels of OS/400 (i.e. V4R5)?  Does Hibernate have any support like this?

We are using the jt400.jar (v5.3) from IBM (IBM Toolbox for Java, JTOpen 4.1, http://jt400.sourceforge.net/).

We have several versions of OS/400 floating around on several remote systems.  We have found some queries that were designed against OS/400 V5R2 will not work on older versions of OS/400.  I have heard that there is a way to use DDM on a central AS400 to act as a view to the remote AS400s and the DDM can convert the queries to the supported version of OS/400 on the target system.  Although, this is yet to be tested/proven to work.

Thanks,

Matt
