DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

DB2CI application development

DB2CI is a callable SQL interface to the DB2® Version 9.7 database servers. It is a 'C' and 'C++' application programming interface for DB2 database access that uses function calls to connect to databases, manage cursors, and perform SQL statements.

Starting with Version 9.7 Fix Pack 1, you can use the DB2CI interface to access databases on DB2 Version 9.7 servers on any of the supported operating systems.

The DB2CI interface provides support for a number of Oracle Call Interface (OCI) APIs. This support reduces the complexity of enabling existing OCI applications so that they work with DB2 databases. The IBM® Data Server Driver for DB2CI is the driver for the DB2CI interface.
