Has anyone here ever even heard of DB2?

And if so, is it possible to make scripts [primarily PHP scripts] running on OSX talk to it?

Our "ERP" system [its called jobscope and its a royal joke] runs on an AS/400 powered by IBM's DB2 database. IBM has a product called DB2 connect which will let you make ODBC connections to it. DB2 connect is available for linux, but I doubt that the source code is available since they charge 2,000 dollars for a windows 2000 server license [though the linux version is free].

IBM DB2 is supported via the odbc functions in php:
http://www.php.net/odbc

but you still would need an OSX ODBC driver for DB2 to make this work, right?

I'm soooo incredibly close to convincing my work to buy me a pair of Xserves its not even funny...I would hate for this to be the deciding factor...
 
wow...that is an AWESOME link. HOW DID YOU FIND THAT! :)
I wish I had known about that about 3 months ago.... [not that it would do me any good in windows, but still]

OSX is listed right there on the first page...I'm betting it can be made to work...
 
I just did a Google search for "DB2 PHP" and it was about the fourth link down :))) I just *love* Google :)))
