client licensing question

I've got about a dozen new staff that need query access to an existing
database (db2 ese v9 on aix). They'll probably be using brio, and
aren't covered by my existing db2 licensing environment.

I'd prefer for them to use the db2 v9 client - since that provides a
richer environment in case we need to debug something, they want a
tool to explore the tables, etc, etc.

But I can't tell what the db2 client licensing requirements are. I've
spent about two hours sifting through ibm's web pages and still can't
find anything that makes a definitive statement here. Any help
regarding licensing of db2 runtime, db2 client is very much
appreciated!

Thanks,

ken

All of the DB2 clinets are free for unlimited use.

Does anyone know of a framework or library that will enable me to use publish/subscribe comms? I want to create a server (using Python) running on a Unix box that will accept client connections (from GUIs built with wxPython) and publish realtime data updates to them. Any advice on where to start? Thanks. A.B.

Hi, After looking up Microsoft's site for licensing info...and found nothing, I turn to this newsgroup. Does someone know what version of VB .Net you are entitled to use when you are a micro business? I think I can't buy a VB .Net standard edition but I'm not sure about it. Also if I need to buy VB .Net Enterprise, how many licenses come with this, one only?

Hi, This might seem like a basic question but I have some doubts, please humour me. I have a client-server application using java where each client on each machine needs to directly communicate directly with the database. Do I need a separate db2 connect on each such machine. Please advice.

Hello, everyone. Our developers are wondering if their swing Java-based application connecting to a DB2 server through JDBC requires the DB2 client access license (CAL) per user. They've got the Java app installed on PCs connecting a DB2 server. They believe that the above scenario does not requires DB2 CALs. I think as long as an application connects to a DB2 server requires a

We've fooled around with Access a bit, but only using the single-user store-bought version. It seems to be a good database - versatile and infinitely programmable - and can apparently be used as a front end to SQL server if we ever needed to go that route. But - is there a client/server version of Access ? Looking on the CDW site there is a bewildering variety of packages and licences and such, but we can't figure out just which do...

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.
