It isn't as if there is any specific opposition to creating a JDBC driver. There just has not been a big demand for it. You might consider entering a requirement, either through your IBM rep or SHARE.
But just because there is no JDBC driver doesn't mean that you can't write in-house code to query the TSM server. C/C++ does the job quite nicely, and uou can't get much more direct than that.

It really makes it difficult for a company to write in house code to query the TSM server DB for info and use it. Outside of using SNMP software and decision support to monitor/report a TSM server why doesn't IBM support some more direct means of doing so like via the use of JDBC support? I've always found that odd...
