Actually, Reality has a better support than jBASE and ON Corp is refers to their system as a database independent MV environment.Meanwhile, jBASE remains the only MV product on the market which does allow transparent integration with external databases. The jBASE jEDI interface does the same sort of things as OFS, but extends throughout the product and works transparently behind every facet of jBASE - BASIC, TCL, PROC, etc.
Kris, you could also build an automated update to your SQL database with any number of tools, including [AD] the upcoming Zeus SQL Edition (scheduled for release June/July of this year) [/AD].
Additionally, you could make the SQL system drive the process and have it output to flatfile which you can link to U2 by declaring it a type 19 file. Not so closed after all, is it? For that matter, you could make the U2 database work as a web service and make the SQL do the same and cross-update using CGI.
