DB2 Database Options

Use existing database:

DB Name: This combo box contains a list of cataloged DB2 databases. Actually, the database alias is shown.  If you wish to use a DB2 database not shown in this list, use the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant to locate and catalog it first.
The last database selected is saved and becomes the default entry the next time you load Scriptoria for the current Access database.

Create new database:

The Create new database function creates a new database on the current DB2 node. If you need to use a DB2 database located on a different node in a multi-node environment, you will need to manually create the database, use the DB2 Client Configuration Assistant to catalog it. You can then employ the Use existing database option.  (Note that the Create new database option is only available when you first load Scriptoria).
 
DB Name: Enter a unique database name that begins with a letter and contains eight or fewer characters.
 
Drive: Selected a drive from the list or use the DB2 default drive setting.  The new database will be created on this drive and will automatically increase in size as data is added.
 
Description: You may optionally enter a description for the new database.
Press the OK button to connect to the selected DB2 database (or to create a new database.)
 
Notes:
1. ODBC data sources are automatically registered and optimized for MS-Access by Scriptoria.
2. When a DB2 / Windows database is selected, Scriptoria checks to see if the User Defined Function extensions have been installed.
