Is there a .net 4.0 provider for IBM DB2?

Question

I can do any .Net development using the v2 CLR (.net 2, 3, 3.5), but when I try to use .Net 4.0, I get an error saying that the version of IBM.Data.DB2 is also old / outdated (It is compiled for CLR v2).

Where can I find .Net 4 version of IBM.Data.DB2?

Answer 1

IBM's policy on providing updates is well described in this forum thread .

Answer 2

To connect to DB2 through .Net 4.0, you need to download and install Fix Pack 4 for version 9.7 of IBM Data Connect software. Version 9.7 supports both x86 and x64 OS, and fix pack 4 supports the .NET Framework.

Does .Net Framework 4.0 have functions for connecting to DB2?
