Depends on the platform the app is based on.

If it's Windows, most likely you need to use the ODBC, OLEDB or .Net
Drivers. 

If it's Java, use JDBC. 

Performance is going to be pretty close on all of them, of course
assuming you know how to write good SQL queries to make things perform
well :-)

subject: crystal reports 2008 and iSeries DB2

Which is the best option for getting to DB2 on iSeries from Crystal
Reports 2008 (or similar PC products). ODBC, OLD DB or JDBC? Do any of
these offer any benefits over the others or are they all really the same
in function and performance.

Thanks
