Many thanks for that Harald.  I will try that out and have a look at the
pydb2 project site.

Kind Regards

Dave Lloyd

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
