connect DB2 with Java

Question

I need to connect DB2 with Java. Kindly help me to connect DB2 with java in ECLIPSE. It would be of great help if you could guide me step by s

Answer 1

Well, you first need to have the DB2 Driver in your classpath; namely the db2jcc4.jar file. A syntax mistake that I noticed is:-

You have the line as follows

conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:sabarish","db2admin","Murugasaranam"); _______________________________________^^^_________________________________

You should add two forward slash characters(/) after db2: and before sabarish like this

conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://sabarish","db2admin","Murugasaranam")

Answer 2

Driver name is depends on the driver we are using.
Use COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Drive when db2java.zip is in your path.
Use com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver when db2jcc.jar & db2jcc_license_cu.jar are in your classpath.

Answer 3

These two drivers are loaded from different JARs. The latter is loaded from jt400.

Answer 4

for db2 old 8.x version you need to add this driver com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

Answer 5

Neither of the examples above worked for me, but this did:

Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver");

Answer 6

You need to correct the package name.

Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");

To add .jar in your project => Project + Properties + Java Build Path + Select "Libraries" tab + Add External Jars...
