                    | Description | 
                    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. |
