DB2 Type4 Driver and DB2 7 on OS390

btt423 · #1 (**permalink**) 02-26-04, 11:34

Does anyone have any feedback on using the DB2 jdbc type4 driver for connecting to an OS390 DB2 v7 database?

I have been using the type 2, but would much rather use the type 4 if I can. In my testing, I have not run across any problems within my application. However, I have run into a couple of problems with visual database tools (DBVisualizer, Eclipse JFaceDBC plugin) connecting to the database correctly.

Due to the fact that I have run into problems in other tools, I'm a little hesitant to switch over my application.

Any advice?

I understand there are issues with using Type 4 to connect to OS390, but unfortunately do not have the details
