Installing DB2 UDB

To run our EJB examples, you must have a relational database system. All our testing was done with DB2 UDB Version 7.2 Fixpack 7.

Although it may be possible to run most of the examples with another relational database system, we only tested the examples with DB2 UDB.

Installation process

Installing DB2 UDB Version 7.2 is straightforward. Just follow the installation panels. You do not have to install all the components, such as data warehousing and performance tools.

After the base installation, you have to install Fixpack 7 or later.

Also, it is required that you run the command file java12\usejdbc2.bat to enable the JDBC Version 2 support for data sources.
