Re: [IBMiOSS] CSV file in the IFS, writing it to a DB2 file using Python

My connections look like this. db2conn = db2.connect("DATABASE=*LOCAL"). Try adding the DATABASE= portion to yours.

Hi there
I am trying to connect to DB2 in python using the following -

import ibm_db_dbi as db2
sys_nam = "*LOCAL"
user = "USER"
password = "PASSWORD"
conn = db2.connect(sys_nam,user,password)

I am receiving this error when running the script -
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

I have tried looking online and nothing is working.
Any thoughts?

Then I would use the csv reading logic in the article and use your previous
DB2 update logic when writing. Good luck, post back if you have more questions.

Reading a csv file is simple with Python.

This article outlines it pretty well.

A reason you wouldn't want cpyfrmimpf is because you may want to do
additional manipulation on the data before putting it in the db. Also
may want to eliminate fields.

Will you run this on IBM i or on a Windows/Linux machine?

Hi all
This is my first post so here goes.
I need to take a CSV file in the IFS on the iSeries and write the
data to a data base file.
I am looking at Python to do this. I already have a script to get a
XLS spread sheet to a data base file.
I have a simple script to read and print a CSV file. So, I need that
piece to parse the CSV file and write the data.

Thanks in advance.
