A server with server class db2odbc is IBM DB2.
NotesSybase certifies the use of IBM's DB2 Connect version 5, with fix pack WR09044. Configure and test your ODBC configuration using the instructions for that product. SQL Anywhere has no specific requirements for the configuration of IBM DB2 data sources.
The following is an example of a CREATE EXISTING TABLE statement for a IBM DB2 server with an ODBC data source named mydb2:
CREATE EXISTING TABLE ibmcol AT 'mydb2..sysibm.syscolumns'; |
Data type conversions: IBM DB2When you execute a CREATE TABLE statement, SQL Anywhere automatically converts the data types to the corresponding IBM DB2 data types. The following table describes the SQL Anywhere to IBM DB2 data type conversions.
