The DB2® JDBC Type
2 driver is deprecated. Although your Java™ applications
that use the DB2 JDBC Type 2
driver will function successfully with DB2 Version
9.7, upgrading those applications to the IBM® Data Server
Driver for JDBC and SQLJ as
soon as possible will help you to avoid lack of support in future
releases.

Procedure
To upgrade your Java database
applications to DB2 Version
9.7:
- Install the IBM Data Server
Driver for JDBC and SQLJ.
- Update your Java applications
to use the IBM Data Server
Driver for JDBC and SQLJ.
- Review the information in the following topics to
identify behavioral differences between drivers that might impact
your Java application:
- Modify your Java applications
to resolve any issues created by the behavioral differences that you
identified in the previous step. These changes might include modifying
existing method calls and removing the use of unsupported functionality
in DB2 Version 9.7.
- If you changed your Java application
source code in any of the previous steps, rebuild your Java applications. Refer to one of the following
tasks for
details on how to rebuild them:
What to do next
After upgrading your Java applications,
perform the remaining steps in the upgrading
database applications task.
