How to connect to DB2

Hi andrei

First welcome to this list.
Second can you explain to us what is the experience that you did so
that you can state that ODBC is broken in Pharo 6.1?

Hi andrei

I do not know the status of OBDC but you should know that code on
squeaksource is in general quite old.
Have a look at Garage which is a kind of JBDC.

https://github.com/pharo-rdbms/garage

You should probably have a version available via the catalog

Hi Stef

I already checked Garage, it doesn't have support for DB2. It used to have support for odbc, but now it's deprecated.

I have no problem using Garage to connect to Postgres.  Don't know if it will work with DB2, but since it's ODBC, it should.
