Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Starburst Enterprise

Connect IBM AS/400 and Starburst Enterprise with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM AS/400's rows in Starburst Enterprise, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM AS/400 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM AS/400 sync into Starburst Enterprise in real time, and result tables in Starburst Enterprise sync back into IBM AS/400, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts
  • Read federated views that join warehouse, lake, and database tables, then sync the result into operational tools like a CRM
  • Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Starburst Enterprise and keep IBM AS/400 focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from IBM AS/400 land in Starburst Enterprise as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

Serve warehouse results at database speed

Aggregates or model outputs computed in Starburst Enterprise sync into IBM AS/400, where whatever reads from that database gets them without querying the warehouse.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Starburst Enterprise

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM AS/400 objects Starburst Enterprise objects
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper.

How the IBM AS/400 and Starburst Enterprise connectors work

IBM AS/400

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC to Db2 for i (for example the JTOpen/jt400 driver), alongside native record-level access
Authentication
IBM i user profile credentials (database credentials)
Change detection
Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.

Starburst Enterprise

Integration surface
ANSI SQL over JDBC/ODBC drivers and the Trino client REST protocol
Authentication
Deployment-dependent: username/password, LDAP, OAuth 2.0, or Kerberos
Change detection
Query-based polling; Starburst is a query engine and exposes no change log of its own
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas
