Accessing DB2 on an AIX server via ODBC from MS Excel

Windows XP Pro SP2
Excel 2003 SP2
IBM DB2 Personal Edition accessing a DB2 database on an AIX server via
the DB2 ODBC driver

I am accessing an external DB via MS Excel using Data-->Import External
Data -->New Database Query. Last week I connected quickly and
reliably. As of Monday morning, It now takes 7.5 minutes to connect to
the DB and all the while the hard disk is spinning constantly. Another
tool no longer connects at all with the following message, "[IBM][CLI
Driver] SQL1336N The remote host "dbt_rpts" was not found.". While
another component of the same tool connects fine. I can also connect
from the DB2 Control Center without a problem.

Has anyone experienced such a selective degradation in access time and
have an idea for a fix?

Thanks, Jim D.

Hello In order to perform a hetrogeneous join (I think that's what they're called) between MySQL and another database, I've created an Access database containing linked tables from each datasource. I create the linked tables without any problems, clicking on "save password" before selecting the desired tables. I can then access both tables fine from within the Access GUI.

We have an Access app (quite big) at www.orbisoft.com/download. We have had requests by potential users to have it converted to an SQL version for them since there corporate policy excludes them from buying mdb backends. Here's the (million dollar?) questions :) How long and how difficult a process would it be? Which SQL platform would we be best to develop it on?

Hey guys, I have an ODBC problem that has me stumped. I wrote a VBA script to run in Microsoft Excel that pulls data out of an application using that application's ODBC driver and puts it into Excel.

To retrieve data from the database of the application, my Excel...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
