Category: PHP Script Codes > php_db2util
At the moment, the php_db2util extension supports:

*) connecting to DB2
*) load data from client or server with replace option or insert option
*) export data from table to client ( also not possible with ODBC )
*) run the runstats utility to recreate indexes ( also not possible with ODBC )
*) disconnect from DB2

Loads 2.000.000 rows in 10 minutes into a DB2 table!

All this functions returns the count of the written/exported/readed lines to the calling function. This extension will not replace the ODBC support to IBM DB2, it will extend it. Requirements: You must have installed the runtime client from IBM for accessing the API libs.
You can get the runtime client free as fixpack from the IBM website.
There is also a free developer version of DB2 8.2.
