Hi,

Is there any reason why the DB2 JDBC driver that comes with the latest DBSolo version (5.2.3) is so outdated?

It is version 3.64.114, that's around DB2 10.1 fixpack 1 back in 2012.

The newest version is 3.72.44, and in May 2018 we have DB2 11.1 fixpack 3.3

I switched the db2jcc.jar file with the new one in the lib folder, so far so good.

Also, the whole db2jcc.jar driver has now been deprecated by IBM. We need to start using db2jcc4.jar now (JDBC 4 or later specifications).

I haven't found a way to make DBSolo work with db2jcc4.jar yet, the error is:

class com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.ExternalTableException cannot access its superinterface com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.bp

Hi,

There is no specific reason really, nobody has reported any issues with the current one. I can see if it can be upgraded.

If you download the latest from dbsolo.com/preview it now comes with the latest driver (version 3.71.22). See if that works for you.
