From: "Adam Flinton" 

I've used the JDBC stuff easily & without messing about against Oracle,
DB2, MySQL, PostGreSQL & Sybase....

Alternatively....I've never used the ODBC stuff because I do swap between
Windows & Linux & using JDBC allows me to do so with next to 0
messing.....got db2java.zip or classes12.zip...good to go on either OS.
