ibm_db2 2.3.1

Extension for IBM Db2 (LUW/i/z) and other compatible databases


ibm_db2 provides access to DB2 and compatible databases on PHP.
It uses a procedural interface. (PDO users should use PDO_IBM instead.)

The following software is supported without any additional licenses:
- IBM Db2 (Linux/Unix/Windows)
- IBM Db2 for i (running on IBM i)
- Apache Derby

The following software may require additional licenses on the database:
- IBM Db2 Connect for i (for using Db2 for i from LUW)
- IBM Db2 Connect for z (for using Db2 for z from LUW)

Note that for IBM i, IBM and Seiden Group recommend new applications use ODBC instead.

Changes

- Try to use out_length for bound character columns when smaller than strlen.
This is to work around an issue on IBM i where SQL/CLI returns garbage after out_length.
Note that strlen is still used to keep existing behaviour with nulls in strings;
binary bound columns are also not affected.
