Re: Re: How to load a DB2 database using PERL

FYI: A DB2 Connect installation is needed to use the DBD::DB2 drivers, too.

BTW, why do you recommend to use ODBC when the native interface is up and running already?

Actually, a DB2 Connect installation (not free) is only required for access to DB2 on iSeries or zSeries machines from Linux, UNIX, or Windows. To access DB2 on Linux, UNIX, or Windows, you just need to download a free DB2 client (Runtime, Administration, or Application Development) from DB2 Support. If you're compiling DBD::DB2, get the DB2 Application Development Client and ensure you select the "Install Headers" option.	[reply]
