David, never done that. But a quick google reveals:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydb2/ there is a python package, called pydb2. So the most propable code will be: import pydb2 cn=pydb2.connect(database="database", host="host", user="user", password="password") cs=cn.cursor() cs.execute("select foo from bar") for row in cs.fetchall(): print row using help (pydb2.connect) you may get some information about the fitting connect-parameters for your database. But I guess you know much more about DB2 than me and will figure that out. (i.e.: with Oracle it is just connect("user","pwd", "instanz") Best wishes, Harald On 10/23/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am new to Python and I am trying to work out if it is possible to use > Python to read DB2 version 8/9 tables on an AIX server.
