ProData announces DBU
cross-platform database utility

Omaha, NE, May 9, 2007 - ProData Computer Services, Inc. introduces DBU Remote Database access (DBU RDB) plug-in for the popular System i database utility, DBU.  This newest addition enables developers to directly access databases on other platforms using DBU.  The software is available on the ProData website and was announced at the recent COMMON User Group conference in Anaheim, Calif.

DBU RDB allows users to access cross-platform, real-time data on remote systems using either the DBU green screen interface or DBU applications through the DBU graphical interface.    DBU RDB supports access to MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 database and others.  Data is displayed in the same manner as DB2 data on the System i when using DBU and adheres to file authorities as defined in each remote database.

“Our customers have been asking for one tool/one interface to access all their data in their shops for the past several years“, said ProData owner and CEO, Allen Hartley.  “DBU RDB allows our customers simple setup and the use of one database tool across multiple platforms to access their data.  With DBU RDB, they no longer have to learn other tools to access remote information.” The setup for remote database access through DBU is straightforward using the DBU RDB configuration function.  Remote access can be further secured using System i object level authority.

With this addition, ProData continues to offer a feature-rich database utility that loyal followers have come to expect.  The performance & functionality of DBU continues to provide quick and easy access to all information about and contained within the DB2 database.  And now this encompasses access to all other cross-platform databases.
