<plug> To elaborate on James' suggestion of Taurus Warehouse, Quest and
Taurus have co-developed a solution called BridgeWare.  BridgeWare will
allow you to populate an open systems (Oracle, SQL) database with data from
the HP 3000, and then monitor changes to the HP 3000 data and post them
directly to the target database on an ongoing basis.  This will allow you to
keep the HP 3000 application online for the required five years while
supplying real-time data to the new platform.

Howdy,

Taurus comes immediately to mind as we looked at it when faced with our
migration woes, however
there are others.  The whole thing revolves around what you mean by "easy".
Oh, yeah, don't forget
to bring some $$$.
