Re: DB2 connect server -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

It's necessary for 2-tier situations. For example, if you have Node.js on
Amazon EC2 Linux and desire to connect to DB2 for i then you'd need
DB2Connect. If you run your Node.js directly on IBM i in PASE (1-tier)
then you can use the database adapter/driver IBM provides.

Does anyone know what the purpose of the DB2 Connect server is? Why add a
link (single point of failure) in the chain and an extra hop in your
database access?
