Thanks for the examples, they are quite useful.

In the drop column example above you drop the column twice. The second exec should be passed the reorg sql.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Acquisition_Is_Initialization

it may change your opinion about blocks.

Sometimes getting the job done is not as good as getting the job done in a secure way.

In associating me with the ibm_db driver you are not far off. I initially developed the adapter for Rails using the ibm_db driver and I’m active in promoting and supporting DB2 and Ruby/Rails, since I’m part of the IBM DB2 team. Searching for ibm_db, you’ll find my name all over the place. 😛 However it is a different team that develops the driver from Sam Ruby’s initial contribution. The same team also takes care of the Python driver and is currently maintaining the ActiveRecord adapter.

It’s sad that PHP’s interface was taken, since it’s ugly. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so they say.

Thanks for this article. I didn’t know how IBM’s driver looked like.

I’m glad there’s an alternative for Informix users.
