Frequently Asked DB2 Driver Questions

Learn more about DB2 drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration


Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with DB2, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData DB2 driver offers full-featured DB2 data connectivity. The CData DB2 drivers support extensive DB2 integration, providing access to all of the DB2 data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all DB2 data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

The DB2 drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to DB2 data. Our DB2 driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to DB2 data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the DB2 driver data model, please review the edition-specific DB2 driver documentation.

Using the CData DB2 drivers and connectors, DB2 can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live DB2 data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular DB2 data integrations online.

Additionally, since DB2 supported by CData Connect AI, we enable all kinds of new DB2 cloud integrations.

DB2 Analytics and DB2 Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify DB2 data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

DB2 data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate DB2 data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental DB2 replication. In addition, our DB2 drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate DB2 with Excel is by using the CData Connect AI Excel Add-In. The DB2 Excel Add-In provides easy DB2 integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Our integration offers live bi-directional access to DB2 data directly from Excel. Simply configure your connection to DB2 from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access DB2 just like you would another native Excel data source.
