RE: DB2 Connect vs. JTOpen jdbc driver

So using the native client is overkill but installing a full blown database isn't? Interesting.

My 2 cents is DB2 connect is overkill unless you have a large enterprise
needing to connect to a mix of databases on a mix of servers with DB2
being the main enterprise db.

I have found going to/from MS Sql to DB2 relatively easy.  One of my first
projects used Access pass-through queries with an MS Sql Server
back end that had an iSeries DB2 database connection.

After that, we did some .net based connections using C#.

All that is some years past, but, aside from licensing MS Sql server
and .net developer tools, we had a relatively small budget.

We purchased a Windows application that needs to connect to our System I box to retrieve data.  The vendor thinks they need to use DB2 Connect to do that.  I was wondering why they couldn't just use the JDBC driver that is available via the JTOpen toolbox.  Could someone explain why you would need DB2 Connect?
