DB2 Server for VSE: System Administration

Appendix G. DRDA Considerations

Users who are planning to design applications that

run on non-VSE platforms and use the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) protocol to connect to DB2 Server for VSE & VM servers, or
run on VSE/ESA and use the Distributed Relational Database Architecture (DRDA) protocol to connect to servers other than DB2 Server for VSE & VM

need to be aware that DB2 Server for VSE & VM's support of SQL does not exactly match the IBM SQL standard ⁶ or the SQL Entry Level standard. ⁷ This appendix attempts to provide some guidance in discrepancies to these standards.

Footnotes:

⁶: IBM SQL is a superset of the SQL92 Entry Level standard
⁷: Entry Level of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9075-1992 Database Language SQL specification
