Hi Richard,

Curious why you repeat the last two parameters ?

String _conn = "Driver={IBM i Access ODBC
Driver};System=1.1.1.1;Uid=user1;Pwd=pass1;CommitMode=0;EXTCOLINFO=1;CommitMode=0;EXTCOLINFO=1";


Cheers

Don

Install IBM ACS ODBC Drivers and you can use this class as a starting
point if you like:

https://github.com/richardschoen/IbmiOdbcDataAccess

Shows you an appropriate connection string to use.

Make sure to encrypt your ODBC connection string.

subject: Writing a PC program with SQL connectivity

I'm not sure this is the right list for this. If not, let me know which
one is and I will repost it.

I have been asked to write a PC .exe program that will execute an SQL
statement on the IBM i and then exit with an appropriate return code based
on what it found. I know how to do all of this in C#.NET except I can't
seem to find what I need for the SQL connection piece.

I assumed that I needed a .dll installed and added into my program like I
need to do for MySQL connections. I found info saying that I needed
IBM.Data.DB2.dll. I googled it to search for a download site and found
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/download-initial-version-115-clients-and-d

rivers. I downloaded IBM Data Server Driver Package (DS Driver). However,
it looks like it is going to install DB2 on my laptop not just the .dll
that I was looking for.

Can someone help point me in the right direction for this?
