[Mono-list] DB2 Status? (db2_36.so and DB2 9 Viper, etc)

[Daniel Morgan]

Use whatever the shared library filename of your IBM
DB2 call level interface library.  Do you even have
the IBM DB2 client software installed?

If you do not, Download the DB2 Driver for ODBC and
CLI.

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/db2express/download.html

Mono's ODBC data provider is found in the System.Data
assembly and namespace System.Data.Odbc.

Read here for more info:
http://www.mono-project.com/ODBC

See if you have unixODBC or iODBC installed.  If not,
you can download unixODBC from unixodbc.org.
