The delivery of a Db2 for i ODBC driver for IBM i enables you to create applications using open-source technology against Db2 on i on your development machine, and then transfer those applications to your IBM i system when they are ready for production.īeing new, there some uncertainty among IBM i users as to how to install the ODBC driver on IBM i.
This meant that prior to this delivery, you could develop communicate with Db2 on i with a Windows or Linux machine using ODBC, but couldn’t transfer the code to IBM i systems as they only had access to CLI (Call Level Interface) drivers.
The IBM i Open-Source Software team recently ported the IBM i Access ODBC Driver to work directly on IBM i, where previously it had only been compiled for Windows and Linux systems.
