Resolving The Problem


IBM Data Server Driver Package provides a lightweight deployment solution providing runtime support for applications using ODBC, CLI, .NET, OLE DB, open source, or Java APIs without the need of installing Data Server Runtime Client or Data Server Client. This driver has a small footprint and is designed to be redistributed by independent software vendors (ISVs), and to be used for application distribution in mass deployment scenarios typical of large enterprises.

The IBM Data Server Driver Package capabilities include:

  • Support for applications that use ODBC, CLI, or open source (PHP or Ruby) to access databases.
  • Support for client applications and applets that are written in Java using JDBC, and for embedded SQL for Java (SQLJ).
  • IBM Informix® Dynamic Server support for .NET, PHP, and Ruby.
  • Application header files to rebuild the open source drivers.
  • Support for DB2 Interactive Call Level Interface (db2cli).
  • On Windows® operating systems, IBM Data Server Driver Package also provides support for applications that use .NET or OLE DB to access databases. In addition, this driver is available as an installable image, and a merge module is available to allow you to easily embed the driver in a Windows Installer-based installation.
  • On Linux® and UNIX® operating systems, IBM Data Server Driver Package is not available as an installable image.
