And I'm certainly no expert in this area, but here is how it was explained to me by one of our DB2 people: JDBC Type 2 drivers are a combination of Java code and native code and therefore are more efficient and provide top performance. JDBC Type 4 drivers are pure Java and allow direct connection to the database (presumably without having to have DB2 Connect installed) but are not as efficient.
