Hi everybody,
currently we use DB2 7.1 on several Solaris machines. Now we are
planning, to migrate to SUSE Linux (newest version).
I wonder, if we can keep our DB2 version 7.1, or if we need to upgrade
to version 8. How are your experiences running DB2 in version 7.1 on Linux.
How difficult is the migration from Solaris to Linux concerning DB2? Are
there some pitfalls or can I simply install the DB2, create my database
(tables and views) and than export the database (using db2move) on the
Solaris machine and import it under Linux (using db2move)?
Has anybody done this before?
I'm curious especially about the JDBC driver. It seems, that for
different DB2 versions, you need different JDBC drivers. Is this also
the case, when moving from one OS to the other?
If so, is it possible to use different JDBC drivers (for different
versions) in one Java/Tomcat-Instance? How?
Any answers are welcome...
Thanks & Ciao
Markus
