Oracle Database Gateway for DRDA is a product that has existed for many years to allow "Oracle Client" applications to access DB2 databases.
Oracle Database Provider for DRDA is a new product that allows "DB2 Client" applications to access Oracle Databases. We currently use IBM Federation Server for the latter (all of our relational databases are Oracle), and I am wondering if anyone is using Oracle Database Provider for DRDA instead.
