PDO_IBM DSN — Connecting to IBM databases
The PDO_IBM Data Source Name (DSN) is based on the IBM CLI DSN. The major components of the PDO_IBM DSN are:
The DSN prefix is ibm:.
The DSN can be any of the following:
a) Data source setup using db2cli.ini or odbc.ini
b) Catalogued database name i.e. database alias in the DB2 client catalog
c) Complete connection string in the following format:
DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=
where the parameters represent the following values:
database;HOSTNAME=hostname;PORT=port;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;UID=username;PWD=password;
database
The name of the database.
hostname
The hostname or IP address of the database server.
port
The TCP/IP port on which the database is listening for requests.
username
The username with which you are connecting to the database.
password
The password with which you are connecting to the database.
Example #1 PDO_IBM DSN example using db2cli.ini
The following example shows a PDO_IBM DSN for connecting to an DB2 database cataloged as DB2_9 in db2cli.ini:
$db = new PDO("ibm:DSN=DB2_9", "", "");
[DB2_9]
Database=testdb
Protocol=tcpip
Hostname=11.22.33.444
Servicename=56789
Example #2 PDO_IBM DSN example using a connection string
The following example shows a PDO_IBM DSN for connecting to an DB2
database named testdb using the DB2 CLI
connection string syntax.
$db = new PDO("ibm:DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=testdb;" .
"HOSTNAME=11.22.33.444;PORT=56789;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;", "testuser", "tespass");
