Re: Writing a PC program with SQL connectivity

do you have the windows portion of ACS installed?
That is where those DLL's exist.

or you could use jt400.jar for ODBC sonnection
I see this is the one to download from ACS download page:
IBMiAccess_v1r1_WindowsAP_English.zip

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?
