Re: db2_open from WAMP

[R Bruce Hoffman <bruce.hoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With all due respect, you are incorrect. I was just not clear in my 
statement.

DB2 LUW to DB2 for i requires DB2 Connect and DRDA. Still, as of DB2 
V9.5 at least. (I believe that V9.7 is out.)

Yes, TCP for ODBC and JDBC connectivity is supported by DB2 for i.

So, if the dll is for DB2 for LUW, then yes, you need Connect to get to 
the i.
