I cannot comment directly on the creation of ext/ibmdb2, although I'd rather see something like that moved to PECL (where everything will be eventually). As for separate CVS trees, while it sounds like a good idea, it's my opinion that it's not a good thing. I agree - I'll submit patches

Hi, I am writing php applications which use php's builtin ibm-db2 support through odbc. However there are some DB2-specific extensions which are not included in php's DB2 support. I am interested in adding this functionality to php. Who should I talk to in order to avoid duplication of work?

Hi, To my knowledge IBM uses a Client Level Interface CLI and the specifications for CLI is exactly the same as ODBC. Compiling the ODBC extension with CLI and some other form of ODBC library would make sence if you wanted to use native IBM code and other ODBC at the same time. This was the case
