I have installed IBM DB2 Express-C 9.7.4 32bit on a Windows 2008 Server. On
a Windows 7 Client I have installed the 'IBM Data Server Driver for ODBC and
CLI (CLI Driver)' and also the IBM Data Studio 2.2. I can install an ODBC
Datasource and connect (by ODBC, from a RB app) to the Server and I also can
connect to it with IBM Data Studio.
And I have installed the MBS REAL Studio SQL Plugin with REALStudio
2010r5.1. - So far so nice.

According to information received earlier on, with the MBS plugin I would
need to use a lib 'libdb2.dll' 
(http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.eu/listarchive/2011-01-23-1.shtml)

But I cannot find such a file, neither using Google nor the IBM site, nor on
my PC after installing the ODBC and CLI drivers downloaded from IBM.

So my questions are: 

What is the correct driver file and from where do I get and install it? 
And how do I use it in code? Something like this, I guess:

===
  dim db as new SQLDatabaseMBS
  
  // where is the library?
  db.SetFileOption SQLConnectionMBS.kOptionLibraryDB2,
SpecialFolder.System.Child("libdb2.dll")
  
  
  db.DatabaseName="DB2:172.16.138.172:50000@sample"
  db.UserName="someadmin"
  db.Password="somepassword"
  
  if db.Connect then
    
    MsgBox "We are connected!"
    
    MsgBox "Server Version: "+db.GetConnection.ServerVersionString

  else
    MsgBox db.ErrorMessage
  end if
===

If anybody has a working DB2 example and knows how to install and use the
client drivers, please share your insight :)

Thanks, Oliver
