The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

DB2 JDBC drivers from IBM

Asked by anokun7 in Drivers, DB2 Database

Tags: IBM, DB2 jdbc, 8, 9, alternatives, free or where to buy, java, N/A

I intend to use IBM's DB2 JDBC drivers to connect to our corporate DB2 databases. But I have been stopped citing that the DB2 drivers are not free to be used in production.

I scoured the IBM website and did various google searches, but just could not find any information that says the DB2 jdbc drivers are not free. (On the contrary I found that the DB2 drivers are free when used with Apache Derby).

Can someone provide me a link or more information about where I can buy the DB2 jdbc (Type 4) drivers? Also any idea how much it costs?

Additional points if someone can suggest an alternative: We are considering StarSQL, how good / reliable is it? Can it in someway be better than the IBM DB2 jdbc drivers?
