What would be fantastic is if you could simply distribute the
"IBM.Data.DB2.iSeries.dll", like you can with other Providers...
Amen to that.
Yes, that would be superb... but alas, I fear IBM would never do such a
thing...
Why wouldn't they? What do they have to lose?
Personally, I'm tired of fighting with the various i5 middleware layers.
ODBC, OLEDB, and now ADO.NET; they always seem to be too far behind in
features and/or fixes. I'm heading towards SQL Server with most new
development projects.
IBM seems to always be dragged kicking and screaming down the Windows path.
I don't know why. Maybe it's their love affair with Java getting in the way.
I can't speak for others, but I've developed in Java, and now in .NET. I
choose .NET, and since the i5 team has not made it as easy and productive to
use DB2/400 with .NET as it is to use SQL Server, I'm voting with my feet.
