IBM DB2
Connect, Personal Edition
DB2 Connect Personal Edition provides the application programming interface (API) drives and connectivity infrastructure to enable direct connectivity from Windows and Linux desktop applications to mainframe and iSeries database servers.
DB2 Connect Personal Edition provides transparent access, via direct connection, to data stored on multiple systems including DB2 for OS/390, DB2 UDB for iSeries, DB2 for VSE and VM, or any DRDA-compliant database server.
DB2 Connect Personal Edition is suited to:
- Those who want to avoid the use of gateways and want to connect directly to host databases
- Typical two-tier applications
- Environments where native TCP/IP support is available and an intermediate server is not desirable due to lack of administration skill
- Environments that do not require advanced functions such as mobility on demand to extend enterprise data to the mobile workforce, federated database support, server-based monitoring or connection concentrator, and associated load-balancing and fail-over support
The package includes:
- DB2 Connect Personal Edition
- DB2 Information Center documentation
- DB2 PDF documentation
- IBM Developer Kit, Java Technology Edition
