Hi, I have written a PowerShell script for to read datas in DB2 database. It
works fine on my Windows XP with IBM DB2 Run-Time Client Lite, but it doesn't
work on Windows Server 2003 x64. What kind of ODBC driver must I install on
x64bit system? I'm searching a lite client, not a full heavy client.
Someone can help me? Thanks.

I am not an expert of IBM DB2. If you want more information, you may want to
contact the customer support for DB2.

But from some internet searching, I found that you may install the 64-bit
driver for IBM DB2 at:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=71&uid=swg21256235 (I believe
this is the latest version; but please double check)

There is also another third-party driver available at:
http://www.datadirect.com/products/odbc/odbc-db2/index.ssp

(Please note that I didn't tried any of the above driver and do not know the
quality of the above driver.)

========
btw, are you going to develop 64-bit application on W2K3 64-bit? For
existing 32-bit applications running under WOW64 mode in W2K3, the original
32-bit driver should still work. Just curiosity...

Thanks,
Ming.
