LPS Announces Support for IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - June 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Language Portability Solutions, Inc. (LPS (http://www.languageportability.com/#_blank)) announces that their COBOL to C# migration solution’s support of Microsoft’s SQL Server has now been enhanced to support any .NET data provider using the generic System.Data.Common namespace classes. This allows migrated programs to have a common interface to all .NET providers.

A .NET data provider is a collection of classes used to access a database. Supported providers include IBM DB2 LUW, Oracle, ODBC and OLEDB in addition to SQL Server. The classes in System.Data.Common give developers a way to write ADO.NET code that will work against all .NET Framework data providers.

A recent project utilized these generic classes to access IBM DB2 LUW. According to Robert Camacho, LPS’s Director of Software Development, "In addition to providing a choice of databases, the use of the common generic interface will allow users to more easily switch database in the future should that becomes necessary”.
