DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Cataloging the SAMPLE database

To access the SAMPLE database on the server from a remote client, you need to catalog the SAMPLE database on the client workstation. You do not need to catalog the SAMPLE database on the server workstation because it was cataloged on the server when you created it.

About this task

Cataloging updates the database directory on the client workstation with the name of the database that the client application wants to access. When processing client requests, the database manager uses the cataloged name to find and connect to the database.

Procedure

To catalog the SAMPLE database on the remote client workstation, enter:

   db2 catalog database sample as sample at node nodename

where nodename is the name of the server node.

What to do next

You must also catalog the remote node before you can connect to the database.
