ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for accessing database objects. A server computer executes a first database management system, wherein the first database management system manages a first database and the database objects are stored in the first database. Preferably, the first database management system is a DB2 RDBMS. A client computer, which is connected to the server computer, executes a second database management system, wherein the second database management system manages a second database and the database objects stored in the first database are activated or linked to the original database objects stored in the second database management system. Preferably, the second database management system is an APPROACH RDBMS. The first database management system communicates with the second database management system via an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) connection between the connected client computer and server computer. The database objects stored in the first database are OLE objects, which are activated or linked to the original database objects stored in the second database and accessed across the ODBC connection. The database objects stored in the first database are Binary Large OBjects (BLOBs).
