Re: PHP DB2 Access (wa Recommendations of web...)

Who are you replying to, Jon? I checked out of the recommendations thread a while ago but I may be able to help with this.

Thanks,
Alfred

The latter, I assume, is native i5 I/O as used by RPG or the like, not SQL.

DB2/400 is UDB DB2 - has been for a while.

You are running PHP in PASE so it would be very surprising if it could
access pre-prepared packages - which is what happens with embedded SQL in
RPG programs. I assume that is what you mean by "static SQL". If you want
static SQL then you do it within RPG programs and either call them or use
them as stored procedures. I suspect that the DB2 uses DRDA. But it is
"special" - not ODBC. Zend built this stuff directly on top of IBM's APIs.
