tcEXPRESS / ODBC – High Performance ODBC driver 
for IBM DB2 and Informix

tcEXPRESS - DB2/Informix ODBC driver

tcEXPRESS/ODBC is an ODBC driver (DB2/Informix ODBC driver). With tcEXPRESS/ODBC the developer and user can directly access DB2 or Informix databases. Access can be performed from any ODBC capable MS-Windows- or UNIX application. 

 

This allows fast and simple access to DB2 or Informix information from applications like Microsoft EXCEL, Microsoft ACCESS, Visual Basic, Visual C and all other ODBC compliant applications. For the DB2/Informix access from a MS-Windows or UNIX Client the DRDA protocol is used.
 

Database connectivity

 

Support of DB2 z/OS starting with Version 5
Support of DB2 LUW strating with Version 7
Support of UNICODE/UTF8 data
Support of UNICODE/UTF8 maintained databases

Availability

 

direct Internet Update for MS-Windows

Downloadkey required for all other drivers:
- MS Windows
- Linux (intel)
- Linux (System z)
- AIX (32- and 64 bit)
- Solaris SPARC (32- and 64 bit)
 

 


Due to the capability to directly access any mainframe based DB2 table it is no longer necessary to transfer the data to a workstation. The benefit for the end user is obvious: the data he'll be working with is realtime data.

 

 



 
The tcEXPRESS ODBC driver can be easily installed and only requires a TCP/IP connection to the mainframe. No additional mainframe software components and proprietary gateways are necessary. 
Compared to other solutions, tcEXPRESS/ODBC uses far less resources on the client. Little - if any - configuration- and distribution effort is required.
