Microsoft .Net Integration with DB2 UDB for iSeries
This presentation discusses the
technical aspects of Microsoft .NET
integration with DB2 UDB for iSeries.
Specifically, we are going to focus
on the new database access object
model, namely ADO.NET. A .NET
data provider is used for connecting
to a database, executing commands,
and retrieving results. The data
provider classes are specific to a data
source. In other words, the data
providers are written for a specific
data source and its classes can only
be used with that data source.
Currently, DB2 UDB for iSeries is
supported by 4 .NET providers
including the native iSeries Access
.NET provider. This session will teach
you how to choose the right
provider for your environment. It
also illustrates with examples the
most important coding techniques.
