INF: Default Schema to be Used with ODBC Driver for DB2 and OLE DB Provider for DB2

View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q217757

SUMMARY

Default Schema is the name of the DB2 collection where the driver or the provider looks for catalog information. This is an optional parameter that can be specified while configuring ODBC and OLE DB Data Sources for DB2 to restrict results sets for popular operations, such as enumerating a list of tables in a target collection (for example, ODBC Catalog SQLTables).

If this paramater is not specified (left blank), the driver or the provider uses the default values depending on the platform that DB2 is running on. For DB2 (on Mainframe), it defaults to SYSIBM, for DB2/400 it defaults to QSYS2, and for UDB the default value is SYSCAT.

Retrieving all the tables within these global defaults could be time consuming for the driver and the provider, therefore, it is recommended that you specify the name of the target collection whenever possible.
APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft OLE DB Provider for DB2
  • Microsoft ODBC Driver for DB2 4.0 SP2

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
