Hi Mike

I would be more inclined to say that most systems only have one database
i.e. *LOCAL (aka *SYSBAS) but if you are using IASPs you will have more
than one database on a single system - and your analogy will break down.

I generally equate a library with a schema rather than a database.

So DB2 on IBM i does not treat databases the way MySQL does. You can
come close by using the analogy of a database in MySQL is roughly
equivalent of a library on IBM i. But the REAL difference is that the
typical MySQL application would store EVERYTHING in a single database
while the typical IBM i application stores data content in more than
one library and access is handled via a Library List.

Sending you some samples but will probably make a blog article out of
this.

Josh Hall pointed out to me that I was passing the DB2_I5_NAMING_OFF
with out it being in an Array....

This is the call that worked for me.

$db2Conn = db2_pconnect( '*LOCAL', 'Usrnm', 'Psswrd', array(
'i5_naming'=>DB2_I5_NAMING_OFF ) );

Now all I have to do is figure out how to select the database I want to
use.... back to google..... maybe I can find some examples in the
current source...

Thank you Jon Paris, Alejandro Olvera and Josh Hall !!!!

So now I am 2/3 the way there..... I can run a script... I can
connect to DB2....
