DB2 Run-Time Client 8.2.0

The DB2 Run-Time Client is a software package developed and provided by IBM to enable client applications to connect to remote DB2 databases. This package includes the necessary drivers, libraries, utilities, and services that allow a client application to interface with a DB2 server.

The DB2 Run-Time Client supports various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Unix, and z/OS. It is designed to be modular, which means that only the components required for a particular application need to be installed.

The client-side application is responsible for establishing a connection to the server and sending requests to execute SQL statements, stored procedures, or other database operations on the server. The client application can also retrieve the results of these operations and process them locally.

the DB2 Run-Time Client simplifies the development of client applications that need to interact with DB2 databases. It provides a standardized way of accessing the database from different platforms and programming languages without requiring in-depth knowledge of the underlying database architecture or protocol.

Main features:

• Enables applications to communicate with remote DB2 databases
• Supports various operating systems
• Modular design allows for customized installation
• Simplifies development of client applications by providing a standardized interface
• Facilitates database access from different platforms and programming languages

Whether developing new applications or migrating existing ones from other databases, using the DB2 Run-Time Client can save time and effort by providing a consistent, reliable way of communicating with DB2 servers.
