Database Connectivity for DB2 LUW

Standard Edition

HiT ODBC Server/DB2
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 Developer Edition

HiT ODBC Server/DB2 (for DB2 for LUW or for DB2 for z/OS) provides a secure, centralized, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) service for Windows Server applications and for ODBC client applications. HiT ODBC Server/DB2 enables Windows Server software, such as Microsoft IIS, access to DB2 data and thereby to clients of the server software. HiT ODBC Server/DB2 enables NT Server software, such as Microsoft IIS, access to DB2 data and thereby to clients of the server software.

HiT ODBC Server/DB2 Developer Edition (DE) includes the C# Toolkit. It contains source code examples for accessing data using ADO.NET. It significantly cuts application development time by providing developers working C# samples to query and update DB2 tables and retrieve DB2 data for redirection to applications. Included source code demonstrates connections using ADO.NET recordsets, executing stored procedures, retrieving table data, inserting table data, and displaying results.

Security
 
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 allows an administrator to pre-define data sources for server and downstream Windows clients. These data sources are maintained at the server and cannot be modified. The included HiT ODBC thin client only communicates with the ODBC server, providing a security gateway before the DB2 host server.

Configurations
 
HiT ODBC Server/DB2 can be used in two configurations:
 
· Server ODBC Applications
 
  A Windows NT server application or service locally uses the ODBC service to access DB2 data and
  redirect it where necessary. For example, using the Microsoft IIS web server and Active Server
  Pages, downstream web browser clients can access DB2 data.
 

· Client ODBC Applications
 
  A thin client presents the ODBC API to a Windows client application and transports the ODBC
  commands to the ODBC service. Only server-defined data sources are available to client ODBC
  applications. For example, a custom Visual Basic application uses the thin client ODBC API to
  access DB2 data via the ODBC service.
