Re: db2_open from WAMP

With all due respect, you are incorrect. I was just not clear in my statement.

DB2 LUW to DB2 for i requires DB2 Connect and DRDA. Still, as of DB2 V9.5 at least. (I believe that V9.7 is out.)

Yes, TCP for ODBC and JDBC connectivity is supported by DB2 for i.

So, if the dll is for DB2 for LUW, then yes, you need Connect to get to the i.

That's incorrect. DB2 supports TCP connection, regardless of platform.

For it to be otherwise would rule out the possibility of a Type 4 JDBC driver.

So far as I am aware, unless something dramatic has changed, to access
DB2 on i or MVS, you need to use DRDA, and that requires IBM DB2 Connect
for the WAMP platform.

DB2 for LUW supports TCP connections, i and mainframe DB2, don't.

Are you sure that the php_ibm_db2.dll is for IBM i DB2? Or just DB2
under LUW?

HELP!!!

I think I have asked this before,
but has someone got the DB2_xxxx (connecting to System i) commands
working from windows?

I am trying to config PHP to load the php_ibm_db2.dll, but
it can't find the "specified module"...


Out on the web I see examples of actually downloading DB2 onto the WAMP
pc, but that doesn't seem to be what I want.

Has anybody done this?
