The Ivory® Data Access SQL engine provides direct access to sequential files from a variety of open system environments or mainframe platforms using standard SQL syntax. Ivory Data Access supports the join of information from sequential files with information from other, non-relational mainframe data sources (i.e. IMS, DL/1, DB2, VSAM, ADABAS, CA-Datacom, PDS/PS), presenting the end user with relevant data in familiar relational data views. Ivory Data Access provides fast, efficient data access that is flexible and transparent.
