Re: Writing a PC program with SQL connectivity

Spot on! Stay with the documentation and product that is specific to IBM i and Access Client Solutions - there's a lot of stuff for IBM Db2 that never quite seems to line up with the specific flavor of Db2 on the i - that flavor is in the family but I always find I do best staying with what the IBM i team has provided.


Again, bon chance!

Thanks Bryan. That kind of helped. I found IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll. It
appears to have IBM.Data.DB2 inside of it.

Every sample program that I can find references DB2Connection. It appears
that IBM.Data.DB2 has iDB2Connection not DB2Connection.

I have tried to use it but I get an error that my connection string is
invalid. Here is my connection string.

string myConnString = "Server=192.168.1<http://192.168.1>.91; Database=MIDOHIO;
UID=JSMITH; PWD=myPassword;";

If I do STRSQL it responds "Current connection is to relational database
MIDOHIO." so I am assuming that MIDOHIO is the "Database" in the string.

Do you see what is wrong with this?
