DB2 connectivity

Post by stevel » Sat 23 Mar 2013 20:46

Using: Delphi XE2 / Unidac Pro 4.6.12

Without installing the DB2 Runtime Client, can you tell which DB2 DLL files need to be present in the application EXE directory to connect to DB2?

eg. DB2CLI.DLL .. ..

Regards,
Steve

Hello,

We haven't tested the workability of our components with the crippled version of the DB2 client. You can ask the developers about what libraries are need for the correct client functioning, or try to detect the libraries by yourself in an experimental way.

You are right. Its not worth using a half-installed client because some files may be used later and you won't know about it (eg. files in msg directory are being used for displaying the error messages. If this directory is not present, then when you get an exception in the course of running the application, it will throw another exception because it cant find the message file). I installed the full client and it works fine. Thanks for responding.
