Updated 25 Aug 2005 The IBM® DB2® JDBC™ Universal Driver is suitable for use with the Apache Derby Network Server acting as a client driver using DRDA. This driver is provided with Cloudscape™ Version 10; however, it is not included with the Derby Network Server. It can be downloaded from this page, free of charge, for use in an Apache Derby Network Server environment.
System requirements
These JAR files are required to use the DB2 JDBC Universal driver. Put both of these
JAR files in your client class path to run your application.
- db2jcc.jar
- db2jcc_license_c.jar
What is the IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver for Derby?
IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver for Apache Derby is the same JDBC driver included with the Cloudscape V10 product for accessing the network server. If you are using Apache Derby and would like to access the Derby Network Server, one option is to download this driver to connect to the Network Server via JDBC using Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA). DRDA is the Open Group's (www.opengroup.org) client/server architecture for accessing remote relational data across multiple platforms.
Another option for using the IBM DB2 JDBC driver is a new client driver,
the Derby Client JDBC driver, available with the Apache Derby 10.1 and
Cloudscape 10.1 releases. The Derby Client driver is open source and also uses
DRDA to access the Derby network server.
The db2jcc_for_derby.zip file available below includes the db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_c.jar files. Unzip the db2jcc_for_derby.zip file into either the %DERBY_INSTALL%/lib directory (%DERBY_INSTALL% represents the directory where
you installed Derby) or another directory that is convenient. The JAR files
db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_c.jar must be added to your class path.
