Windows query tool for DB2/400

Hi Folks,

We use JDBC to connect to a DB2 database on an AS/400. We wrote a
crude query tool that allows us to send SQL to the DB and get results,
but it doesn't have any convenience features like field selection etc.

Is there a query tool for DB2/400 similar to Query Analyzer for SQL
server? I know that there is an IBM Client Access package that can be
installed on a Windows workstation that provides some connectivity and
probably contains some type of query tool, but my experience with it
is that it is pretty invasive and caused conflict with other software
packages.

If someone is aware of a good tool with a small footprint (pure Java
would be awesome), I'd appreciate the tip!

Thanks,
Bob

If you have MS-Access, just link the tables through ODBC. You'll have
to install the client access software on the client, though.

Might want to look at the QMF for Windows for iSeries offering - it doesn't
require the iSeries Access middleware.

Hi Bob, I know this reply is a little late for you but I just came accross your post. You might be interested to know that there is a pretty good query tool available on download.com called Universal Table Browser. It is a multi-database enterprise level query tool and I have been able to open data sets that contain literally millions of records in a matter of seconds with it.
