Hello Bill,
these answer I found in the DB2 Knowledge Base:
Which DB2 JDBC driver should I use?
Applicable version(s): Version 7, Version 6
Applicable platform(s): AIX, HP-UX, Linux,
OS/2, Solaris, SunOS, UNIX, Windows 2000,
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT
Abstract: Which DB2 JDBC driver should I
use--the appplication driver or the net driver?
If you are concerned with speed and
performance, you should always use the
application (app) driver, which is provided in
the COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver class.
If you can install the Application Development
Client for V7 or the Client Application Enabler
(CAE) for V6 on the client's workstation, or if
the database server is installed on the same
machine as the client, you should always use
the app driver, which is provided in the
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver class.
The app driver, or thick client, is a type 2
driver. This means that the Application
Development Client or CAE has to be installed
on the client's workstation.
The net driver, or thin client, is a type 3
driver that communicates with DB2 through the
JDBC Applet Server. The net driver was designed
to be used by applets only. To use it
otherwise, you must ensure that the db2java.zip
file on the client's workstation or web server
and the DB2 server are from the same DB2
version and fixpack. If the versions of
db2java.zip do not match, you may be unable to
connect to the database server or risk
corruption of the data transmitted between
client and server.
... it's depend on the Hardware do you wnat to have, a thick or a thin
machine.
with best regards
Joachim M�ller

Hi,
Can anybody explain to me the difference between a JDBC App driver and a
JDBC Net driver? I've looked in the UDB v7.2 manuals for information, and
all I've been able to find is that the "app" driver is an "application"
driver (type 2), and that the "net" driver is an "applet" driver (type 3).
My problem is that I'm not in the least bit Java literate, so "application"
vs. "applet" driver means nothing to me, and neither does type 2 vs. type
3.
Can anybody explain to me in fairly simple terms what the difference is
between the two, and more importantly, under what circumstances would you
want to use one instead of the other?
Thanks,
Bill Gallagher, DBA
