Re: ZendStudio i5 on Linux access DB2 on iSeries

The same issue arises with Ruby and DB2 on i. Requires the SPENDMONEY command to make it work. That is why I reverted to JRuby, which uses the JDBC drivers.

I plowed through my Ruby email archives because I thought there was a free developer edition of DB2 Connect but I couldn't find it.

If I had more time I'd do a little more poking around but I am deep in a project right now and don't have time to kick tires.

Correct, and the deeper I dug on the front of IBM DB2 Connect, the more it

According to the PHP manual:

"To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX, and Windows,
or IBM Cloudscape, or Apache Derby, you must install an IBM DB2
Universal Database client on the same computer on which you are running
PHP. The extension has been developed and tested with DB2 Version 8.2."
"To connect to IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS or iSeries, you also
require IBM DB2 Connect or the equivalent DRDA gateway software."

This is the problem Aaron is having. PHP is being run on something other
than the AS400, while the DB2 database is on the AS400.

So back to my original question... anybody have a "acceptable" or

"industry

standard" way to communicate to iSeries DB2 when PHP is running on

Linux?

Doesn't seem like it should be this hard :-(

What about the db2* functions...are they included in the linux PHP
install?

More info.
