IBM Data Server CLI and ODBC drivers
In the IBM Data Server Client and the IBM Data Server Runtime Client there is a driver for the CLI application programming interface (API) and the ODBC API. This driver is commonly referred to throughout the Db2 Knowledge and Db2 books as the IBM Data Server CLI driver or the IBM Data Server CLI/ODBC driver.
New with Db2 Version 9, there is also a separate CLI and ODBC driver called the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI.
Information that applies to the CLI and ODBC driver that is part of the Db2 client generally applies to the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI too.
However, there are some restrictions and some functionality that is unique to the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI. Information that applies only to the IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and CLI will use the full title of the driver to distinguish it from general information that applies to the ODBC and CLI driver that comes with the Db2 clients.
