We would like to use DB2 in Python and PHP applications running on FreeBSD 7 connecting to Linux server. For building these drivers we need header files (most likely OS independent) and db2 library. It would make administration easier to have DB2CLI executable (db2) ported too, but we can work without it fine. FreeBSD and MacOS shares lot of userland components, so it will be very little work to make existing MacOS version compile on FreeBSD.

Why can't these be the same command? The first thing checked in both is the current db2level and the target db2level, just use the new db2 code level!

An interview of the system, plus some performance probes should set up the ideal parallel_io, filesystem layout, extent size, and prefetch for the system. Make the "Best Practices" more built-in.

When I ssh to a Linux machine running DB2, hitting the up/down/left/right arrow keys enters garbage into the DB2 command line. This seems to happen regardless of my PuTTy keyboard configuration settings. The regular bash command prompt handles all arrow key control codes safely.
I'd really like to be able to access my command history by hitting the arrow keys, whether by SSH or otherwise. The DB2 command line needs to be improved.

It would be great to have a very lightweight admin tool for DB2 that can access a remote DB2 system through a web browser, perform object management, issue commands and run queries. By lighweight I mean not eclipse-based and not 100s MB footprint. Something like phpmyadmin or IDS OAT, that I can even use in a webbrowser in a mobile phone.

There has been some talk about DB2 coming on Mac. Really looking forward to it.

Hardy Heron (V8.04) is the LTS (Long Term Support) version of Ubuntu Linux. Since Ubuntu is one of the recommended distributions for DB2 (i.e. distributions on which IBM builds and deploys DB2 extensively), its about time 8.04 is validated by IBM.

It would be nice to be able to specify specific databases to be activated whenever the instance is started. The automatic utilities won't work unless the database is active. A simple db cfg parameter would be nice.
