Steve, My experience is that I've always needed the db2connect installation.
The Perl DBI::DB2 doesnt work right without it. I learned this the hard way recently with solaris and db2 on Windows NT. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Sapovits [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 4:35 PM To: DBI List (E-mail) Subject: DB2 on Solaris I think I asked this way back, but I never followed up. We have a DB2 database running on an AS/400. I'd like to access that from Solaris 2.7 using Perl/DBI. I have DBI and Oracle::DBD set up there already. What's needed as far as a DB2 client goes? Our Java guys got a free DB2 JDBC driver. Another guy here is convinced you have to install a full DB2 client (which costs $$). A client similar to Oracle's SQL*Plus would be nice too, but if the rest is free and that's not I'll take what I can get for now. The DB2 instance running on the AS/400 is part of a package so I'm not sure what we might be able to get for DB2 on other platforms as part of that package versus a standalone DB2 install. ---- Steve Sapovits Global Sports Interactive Work Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
