DB2 Access Example

General Information

The database name on this server is E105098D

There are two main ways of connecting to DB2 using the db2_connect() function.

1. Run in the PHP process
   • Do not specify the userid or password.
   • Database name is optional.
   • The user profile used by PHP (NOBODY) must have access to the tables, which means that any PHP process can access the data.
   • This is the faster method.
2. Run in server mode
   • Specify the database, userid, and password.
   • The userid specified must have access to the tables.
