DB2 .NET Data Provider

Concurrent active data reader support

The DB2 .NET Data Provider now supports the use of concurrent active data readers. This means that you can concurrently access data from multiple DB2DataReader instances that use the same DB2Connection instance. Each DB2DataReader instance must be associated with its own DB2Command instance. In order to use the associated DB2Command instance for any other purpose, you must explicitly call the DB2DataReader.Close method.

DB2Connection.ConnectionString property

There is an additional keyword for the DB2Connection.ConnectionString property:

CurrentSchema

The schema to be used after a successful connection. Upon a successful connection, a SET CURRENT SCHEMA statement is sent to the DB2 server. This allows the application to name SQL objects without having to qualify them by a schema name.
