IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver now available
Hi,
The IBM DB2 JDBC Universal Driver is now available for download from
developerWorks.
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/downloads/jcc/
This driver enables client connectivity to the derby network server and
is free.

They have a totally misleading description attached to the driver download:
"Evaluation Version of IBM Cloudscape, written entirely in Java embedded database"
Also the download link goes to search page showing tons of unrelated Cloudscape stuff.
It makes you think, where the hell is that driver.
Otherwise, download will work once you figure out what to click on ;)

Hi Jeremy,
I certainly understand that an open source solution is preferable. By
all means, someone can develop an alternative, open source, network
driver. The Network Server is open source and speaks DRDA. So, someone
can certainly develop an open source driver to talk to the network
server. Or, someone could pursue another solution completely if the
community agrees that's best. If you or someone else is interested, I
suggest you make a proposal on the dev mail list about how to proceed.
There are members of the community who are familiar with DRDA if you
need information on that route.

Thanks for clarifying the redistribution issue - that goes a long way to
help. However, there may be a few people who don't wish to or may be
unable to redistribute it - the ASF is likely to be one of those.
Is there anything (e.g. IP constraints on the protocol) that would
hinder the independent development of a alternative, open source,
network driver?

The Derby project provides an embedded JDBC driver as part of the Derby
codebase under ASL2 license. The network JDBC driver is the DB2
Universal JDBC driver and is part of the DB2 product family. At this
time, IBM has no plans to provide the DB2 JDBC driver under the AS2
license. However, you are welcome to download it from the IBM site as a
binary pacakge and use it as you choose. Within the next 4-6 weeks, IBM
will add terms to the license so you will be able to redistribute it
without charge.

Is it planned that the JDBC driver (+ source code) will be under the
same licence (ASL2) as the main Derby codebase?
Cheers,
