In which way can I access another database (not OpenEdge) via ODBC from OpenEdge without using DataDirect?
The use case is data migration from one system to another, so performance cannot be neglected completely but it's a one time thing that is allowed to take a little longer.
Why without DataDirect? Extra cost. Our client doesn't have the license. Why not dump and load (via CSV f.e.)? The client doesn't want to do the mapping between the systems this way but with database views.
Looking at the website there are downloadable ODBC drivers for most platforms:
