Basically, a generic kind of Oracle's SQL*Plus that talks to any ODBC source. Like an Access 'pass-through' query, but without Access.
An admittedly brief Google search hasn't returned anything of value, so I figure querying the IGM shouldn't hurt :)
Failing that, here's what I am trying to achieve:
I need to periodically dump tables from a box running an [link|http://www.openlinksw.co.uk|OpenLink] server/listener/whatever.
We currently do this on Windows using an ETL tool.
However ...
- We're migrating to HPUX - and so can't keep the ETL tool on our Windows box.
- The source database is running with an old version of OpenLink - a version for which there are no HP-UX drivers.
- We're not allowed to upgrade OpenLink on the source database box.
- I really, really don't want to use Access to do pass-through queries.
Hence, my curiosity about some kind of generic command-line ODBC interface.
Any thoughts?
