IBM i now provides an ODBC driver for Db2 that works just like the one on Windows, Linux, and Mac. With this driver, fully supported by IBM, developers can code on their PCs, then deploy the same code to IBM i for production. Learn Alan’s recommended settings and tips for using ODBC with open source languages, including Node.js, PHP, and Python, and R, as well as .NET, and how to convert proprietary Db2 driver functions to standard ODBC functions.
Learning Objectives:
- How to install and configure ODBC on IBM i
- How ODBC can help you develop software that can run on any platform while accessing IBM i data
- How to use ODBC from the various languages safely and effectively, avoiding common mistakes
