DB2 CLI run time support is provided by both the DB2 server and client. Refer to Summary of Changes for information about support in previous versions.
DB2 CLI development support is included with the Software Developer's Kit. The support consists of the necessary header files, link libraries and documentation required to develop both embedded and DB2 CLI applications for a particular operating environment. For example, DB2 SDK for OS/2 allows you to write applications that run under OS/2, with a DB2 client these applications can access data on a DB2 for OS/2, DB2 for AIX, or other DB2 Universal Database servers. With DB2 Connect, the applications can access DB2 Universal Database for AS/400, DB2 for OS/390, DB2 for VSE & VM servers or any other IBM or non-IBM DRDA server.
For detailed information on the DB2 Software Developer's Kit, and for using supported compilers to build DB2 CLI applications, see DB2 Call Level Interface (CLI) Applications in the Application Building Guide.
