db2 => select * from emps;

I do not use db2cc; got in the habit of not using that in V6.1 days when
it ran so slowly that I could not stand it.
Did you install it?
trillian:jdbeyer[~]$ locate libdb2jdbc.so
/opt/IBM/db2/V8.1/lib/libdb2jdbc.so

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 ES, I have a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d for
that. Named IBMdb2. It is like this:
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 35 98 02
# description: Start and Stop IBM's db2 dbms.
BASE=/opt/IBM/db2
VERSION=V8.1
INSTANCE=/dataA/db2inst1 # Where (a small part of the) instance will be.
# Set the path.
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
.. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Check we have the start and stop programs.
test -x $INSTANCE/sqllib/adm/db2start || exit 0
test -x $INSTANCE/sqllib/adm/db2stop || exit 0
test -x $BASE/$VERSION/bin/db2 || exit 0
case "$1" in
start)
# Check if IBMdb2 not already running
if [ ! -f /var/lock/subsys/IBMdb2 ]; then
echo -n 'Starting IBMdb2 daemons: '
